The same people who created that depression are the same families that truly run the world,it's not a party it' is good old super rich that expect to make all the money,taxing them won't work because they live in many citie's all over the world and pay no attention to U.S.taxes and laws. Rockefellers built the great railrods then killed the chinese workers.Henry Ford killed many workers about the union. I'm glad to have a president to take the blame for the sins of the richest people in the world doing what they do best (make money). They have more than most countries.

Do some research into how many cities are making it illegal to help the homeless these days. This includes the shelters.

And yes, the Great Depression was no more of an accident than the one we're in now. The bankers have been in control since at least 1913, when the Fed. Res. was started during the Woodrow Wilson presidency. He later wrote "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly destroyed my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of men."

This is intolerable. The slums MOST remain slums, at ALL times and at ALL costs. How can good neighborhoods remain good if the bad neighborhoods are allowed to improve?

oliwha,

The industrialists want production to shift back to the United States from China.   The problem is wages are still too high, we need to get american workers down to parity with the Chinese workers.


WE don't need to get American workers to compete with Chinese workers wages.


This warped way of thinking to have Americans join in a headlong race to the bottom while the greedy few sit back and laugh at them is as far removed from the idea of America as a place where you work hard and are duly rewarded can get.


Perhaps the idea that WE should boycott products from China and buy American products could be pushed further ahead. Along with smaller profit margins for the greater-than-thou CEO's who feel that the workers are overpaid, while they make 600 times their salary and usually pay far less in taxes than any of them.

Sorry, but the idea that Americans can subsist on the same wages as Chinese industrial workers is a bit absurd. For example, Apple workers in China live on $3.00 a day, live in crowded dorms, and have very poor working conditions. How could folks pay bills with this type of income? Please provide an example from China that would "work" in America if you're going to suggest industrial workers in America should be pain the same as their Chinese counterparts. Thanks.

    The thing is, this is coming again. The market reset of 2008 was headed off due to the intervention of the president(s) though the inaction of the current congress is attempting to stall any economic recovery long enough for them to enact their grand scheme when they take back the three branches.

Chinese wages dont' support 2000 sq ft homes, they support shanties.  Only this time the slums aren't going to be in the city center, they're going to be in the suburbs of the 50's on the edge of town, just like in Rio, Cairo and Delhi.

Chicago!!  Obviously the idiot has never been to Chicago. It has everything,yes including 4 seasons. Women can walk in the early AM in downtown, the lakefront is mostly park(and safe ), every sports team, ethnic dining, etc. This nitwit picked Chicago over say, Benton Harbor,Michigan? Stay at the "finest hotel", stroll the city at night, enjoy all the amenities, Benton Harbor and another 100 cities or more have to offer. How in the world does someone this incompetent get this job-(or any job requiring some form of intelligence) ?

Hey slipknot!  Relax!  First, it's not 2 Billion. It's estimated at 1.1 Billion.  A far cry from 2. That INCLUDES improvements to surrounding areas with shops, on site parking, restaurants etc...   Secondly, the taxpayers are not being "forced" to pay for it (all). Nothing has been approved. Finally, the "homeless taxpayers" (huh?) are only being asked to pay roughly 345 million.  It amounts to a few dollars a YEAR! So, 'go sell crazy somewhere else, were all stocked up here'.

The pics and article are crap!  All I see is dilapitated housing, shacks...that the poor and homeless lived in-in the early to mid 1900's and then the updated pic showing expensive buildings for businesses and apartment buildings with condos and the like that sell for hundreds of thousands to millions per each one.  Is this article intended to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy--as though the poor don't exist anymore?  What, the poor have it made now?  Really, laws now would never allow a group of homeless people to make up shanty towns and shacks anywhere to live in!  So that is out.  If you live in a cardboard box along a building and have a grocery cart to store your stuff--you get harrassed by the police for being a flagrant and told to move on.  Shouldn't there be pics of homeless shelters in this article?  I suspect they wouldn't go there--because they are beyond capacity with numerous people sleeping on grassy patches, sidewalks, and against nearby buildings outside of them!  This article is so far from reality it is a waste of cyberspace. Why not depict real life for the other 99% of this country instead of picking the select few that have the wonderful ability of $?

My (maternal grandparents) lived in a shanty town in Jefferson City, Missouri

during the 30's and 40's.  A group of 12 - 15 wood-frame, asbestos tile

covered, three room houses with gardens and sometimes chickens

and one hog in the yard.  I remember going to visit one day and my

grandfather was butchering a hog.  This shantytown was called

"Owl Town" and was located directly off what is now the Missouri

Blvd. business district where Wal-Mart and all restaurants and

businesses are now located.  Owl town was raised in the mid-50's

for urban renewal and all occupants re-located.

 

I remember my grandmother going to visit neighbors and sitting up

with sick who had diptheria, she picked up the germs and brought

them home to her children, one died as a result at 18 months of age.

 

Let's hope America does not revert  back to the homelessness and poverty

of the Great Depression.

Our building and zoning laws also make it hard for folks to work and live in the same home, making many small businesses unreachable.

My grandfather lived in Seattle's shanty town, called Hooverville, during the Great Depression.  He said he bought a shack from another guy for $9.  Must've been a pretty nice shack for $9 considering that was a enough money back then to buy a lot of groceries.  He found work in the shipyards when the war started. 

Most people think of that as being the only depression, but there was another one from 1873 to 1879.  This one was called the Long Depression.  People ended up living in shanty towns in Central Park and many men abandoned their families because they couldn't afford them. 

 I didn't know about the Long Depression until I visited the East Side Tenement Museum in New York.  It was fascinating to find out about the history and the many lives of the people who lived in the building over the years.

All those who wax lyrical about European Americans and other such terms are once more blaming all the "others" for the problems of America; European means white. Get real, people!

What about all the homeless people today camping wherever they can, using bicycles and grocery carts to get around? There are thousands of people who are homeless in most every city I've been to lately.

I see through the ruse of this article. It's to trick people that things are "better" A few fancy buildings but not the stock of a great people. I'll take a depression era community over the debt ridden cities and their dangers  we have today.

A shame our cities like New York use to be European cultural wonders before the elite turned them into toilets. Most immigrants from Europe merged well but not the rest. At any rate theirs no need for everyone to be crammed into those cities but Europeans would have kepted the streets clean, the nebiorhoods safe and with the return of friendly European beat cops-the kind where everyone in a section of city knew who he was and would stop to talk to him would be a plus. The Irish cops were tough and didn't back down so easily to crooks ethier back when they could actually do their job or shoot a idiot that ran from them to avoid the law. (I'm typing about a time when a cop cared about the people". But yes in European societies it is acceptable if some doofus makes his way towards civilian homes ect they would had been shot rather then the cop risking them taking a child or female hostage. They are to corrupted today or to liberal though to make those tough decisions today.

Did you notice their wasn't as much controlling laws about the structure and location of those shacks? Even in hard times the European Americans would pull together. A shanty town like that would not work in a multi-racial society due to violence, rape and sodomy and theft.

 

The elite created the "Great Depression" to start with. To cripple the European Americans they hate so much, despite the fact our people invited them in our boarders.
