First paragraph:

Yeah, for sure, I think that's a good point. Even a person without any hate to let out of their heart would rightfully take issue with the fact that their property value would plummet. I wonder if there would have been some way to work that out. Like a tax credit or something.

Second:

I think you'd be surprised. I know you grew up in the South, and in a lot of ways I feel like it may be more integrated than some parts of the North. I understand where you're coming from, but I really don't think this was a stretch at all. Maybe I'll pm you some anecdotes or something if you're interested.

Third:

Well, again, I think you're kinda shifting the goal post. The caption, as I recall, said that these specific instances of public housing were a success. They showed us a good deal of details about how they were implemented and so on. Expanding that to all townhouse style public housing... did they all follow the same plan, or were there too many units packed on top of each other, or were they not integrated into better neighborhoods, or whatever else. Being townhouses was a major factor in the the planned success, but that alone, as was argued on the show, would not have been enough. For example, the low rises in the Wire were just more projects in the ghetto. If I'm not mistaken, they were actually in the shadows the towers.
