What solutions do you think the government should consider for this community? Whose responsibility is it to change the lives of the individuals living in the Ida B. Wells housing project?
The responsibility to change the lives of the individuals that live in Ida B. Wells housing projects and the surrounding areas should come from the government but also the individuals that live in the community. I believe that some of the responsibility should come from the government because they should be trying to make it a better and safer place to live. They should enforce more police in the neighborhood and clean up the schools. They can also create a boys and girls club that kids can go to, to get away from the streets and have programs that kids can do to work. Not all the responsibility lies with the government. Some of the responsibility lies with the family, they can make sure that there kids go to school and have the right education to be successful in life, and also not let there children go out and stay out to late at an early age so they wouldn’t learn what’s happening in the streets. All these are miner steps that can help the community become safer; enjoy full, and overall much better. Families moving into the housing projects will see that it’s a really great community to raise there children and start a living. With my following answer do you guys agree with it? Why or why not?

I agree that the governtment has a big say on how those communities will fare against drugs, gangs and crime and how families themselves have to make sure their youth don't go astray but society itself must acknowledge these problems. If our society is not willing to accept that these struggles are happening then it will slow progress down. These issues must be brought up so they can be met head on instead of being brushed under the rug and forgotten.
