More support for the Sun's plan to give public housing tenants their apartments comes from, of all places, Bushwick, Brooklyn, where the blogger Bushwickbk.com writes, "The projects, built in the wake of the city's program of 'slum clearance' from the 30s to the 50s, and then with some built after parts of the city, including Bushwick, burned down in the 60s and 70s, have ironically remained the only slums left in this entire city of 8 million. Slum-like properties that are not city-owned are always directly adjacent to those that are."
