You’re posts are focused on “personal responsibility” and LVDW is speaking of “societal responsibility”. They both have a place in the discussion, but as people who don’t live in these neighborhoods, it can come off as disingenuous or even victim-blaming.
A child who grows up in this area is not at fault for the decades of disinvestment (from public and private). They blatantly do not have the same opportunity as someone who grows up in Lincoln Park (from lead pipes to food desserts to bad schools). Trying to boil the difference down to “personal responsibility” misses the whole boat. If we actually wanted to discuss single parenthood, we’d need to get into the factors that lead to single parenthood instead of just highlighting the outcome as bias reinforcement.

I love how you come in here and try to “debate” people appearing like some moderate, when it’s pretty obvious that it’s all BS. You’re obviously a Leftist with your stripes disguised. Waste of time...
And LVDW? Give me a break with his new “wokeness”, I don’t buy it for a second. He cares about his bottom line as he has invested in the area in question and wants a ROI. Money is the bottom line for everybody, these arguments aren’t about right or wrong, they are about a power struggle for wealth and resources—and ALL parties involved are self-centered.
