WNYC's The Take Away tag teaming with New York Times today on forcing diversity into communities that don't want it. Here are the main points:
-Housing is a human right
-People should have the right to live where they want to regardless of income
-Poor people keep getting pushed around, pushed into ghettos then pushed out as the ghettos gentrify
-The American dream is to live in a mixed community with mixed races, and low, middle and upper incomes
-Local control of building ordinances needs to be overruled by federal requirements that force communities to accept high density low income housing.
