i hear you. it may seem trivial to fix on bricks and mortar when its flesh and blood
(blood and guts) thats really at hand. i think we have three issues here (1) HUDs renewal policy, (2) historic preservation in general , and a factor effecting both of the first two points: (3) to use your term "stain" (ill call it "pall" which allows the possibility that it could be lifted in time - but not to minimize the factor) associated with the new orleans projects but probably applicable to any scene (locus) of a serious atrocity. in this case a stain which because of the sustained persistence of the condition is deeply set in the social fabric and physical landscape.
im going to dig a little deeper since i havent been following the new orleans public housing issue very closely and will post related links as i find them. please feel free to post links as well.
