Sadly, the real problem is that there are TONS of cretins who come out at night, and very few of them are enrolled in college (the presumable aim of this measure).
The cretins who rape, rob and destroy this City are actually just "under-served citizens" who need more of your tax dollars to make them comport to societal norms, haven't you heard?

Or we could just hold EVERYBODY accountable for their own actions and let decent people live their lives in relative peace. College kids who drink beer aren't the problem, the problem is college kids who drink beer and then piss on your house, throw a rock through your window, etc..
Just like Section 8 recipients aren't ALL the problem, but Section 8 recipients who destroy their residences/devalue their neighborhoods (they can always get a new one as long as someone else is paying) are the problem.

Assigning social values to people based on where (on the social engineering spreadsheet that dictates culpability) they are, as opposed to what they do is THE problem. But, since we're dealing with issues that involve classism, reverse-racism (let's face it, the Justice system in MA is essentially a form of reparations by tolerating criminal activity by minorities) and just plain refusal to admit that past policies have failed, we'll get nowhere.

Awww, did someone wake up the P.C. police? No one's talking about minorities, and "underpriviliged" in this context is most often a euphemism for lazy, ignorant or criminally inclined.

Point well taken. I read more into your post than I should have. I agree that criminals undermine the quality of life in this city. What I don't buy into is that ridding our city of section 8 and underclass is some sort of panecea for a livable city. Strict crime enforcement, (using the laws already at hand), home-ownership and a friendly business environment are the tools which will make Worcester a livable, if not good, city.

This whole thing is targeted at college kids from Holy Cross and Clark.

How often do you think the West Side schools will have their parties broken up?

I'm going to drive around the council people's neighborhoods calling in every posh party that I see. In fact, I'm going to call in every family over 5 that I see walking around.

Hey fair is fair, dicks. Enforce the goddamn law equally, otherwise you're profiling.

"We have allowed our city to pretty much become the low income housing capital of the Northeast..."

Never been to Bridgeport??

"we" havent done anything.

worcester has been blue collar for several decades. housing that is section 8 is so because people bought those blue collar 3 family homes built in the 20s and complexes built in the 50s 60s and 70s and took advantage of a government program that reduces their risk as an owner.

i understand what ur saying but i really do think section 8 has a lot to do with it. no "force" is going to change the nature of the demographic until major changes occur.

remember section 8 housing isnt just created by some boogie monster pulling strings or the old people that vote locally. its created by lazy landlords that dont want to maintain their apartments and aside from passing a basic function code check from the board of health, update or improve them. section 8 "benefits" both.

its my opnion that if there were to be laws or some form of legislation aimed at changing an area as u describe, i would start by overhauling section 8. worcester's lush multifamily landscape is way to apt for it to be exploited.

Dirty politics would defeat me in a second.
