For countless years the residents of CHA public housing, city officials, and the public have been unsuccessful in their attempts to improve the living conditions of public housing. Finally a program that works and a chairman with proven ability have had a positive impact. Ms. Juffer attempts to tarnish the program by injecting unsubstantiated accusations of misconduct on the part of the police and security personnel. She further clouds the issue with allegations of first amendment violations.
The residents of CHA are entitled to this effective and long overdue program. Perhaps a compromise could be reached between the CHA and these residents. Permit them to move into a CHA apartment in an unsecure building. I’m confident that a resident in one of those buildings would eagerly trade places.
