If you're going to quote wikipedia, you might want to finish reading the rest of the article first.

Otherwise, you might miss information that also works against your point.

I suppose.

The problem is cleaner places, without cleaner people, will not last. (At least, that's from the examples I've seen)

One of the neighborhoods my ex-coworker lives in has regular clean ups in the area. But at the same time, over 50% of the house were at one point burgled within the past 2 years. So, while the neighborhood looks clean as a middle class wholesome suburban street, the people there have to invest heavily in home security measures to ensure that their house don't get broken into. (The effectiveness of which, has been questionable) It's kind of the reason why the ex-coworker had a hard time selling his house.

Oh yeah, and now that ex-coworker of mine hates teenagers with a passion. It's actually kind of funny to watch him talk about it.

Probably. But it's kind of like the Parito's Principle, you know? Best bang for the buck really.

the broken window principle, in that regard, seems like it's a good strategy for urban development to maintain the cleanup work that has taken place and further strengthen the local real estate value.

I guess the idea I was shooting for was that the best way to eliminate crime is to eliminate the class that creates the crime by changing them into a class that generates less crime. But it's far more work and it is not nearly as easily measurable. As a long term solution, it can do wonders. However, most mayors do not get to stay around long enough to ever see the pay off from the investments, which is partially the reason why it often takes a back seat. All the work they put into this sort of endeavor will often not get recognize until their term have long ended and then by the time it DOES work, chances are somebody else will take credit for it by just being in the position of power at the time. As such, it is usually not an attractive strategy.

no not quite.

I mean, by promoting the lower class into middle class by giving them the means to earn the income through education empowerment.

perhaps. just like we as human beings will always be sick from time to time. But it doesn't mean it's a bad idea to take care of our bodies.

He hasn't featured in the first two primaries - do you think he will 'rebound' or will he fall out of the race?

It's just as good since he's being supported by the neocons who want to use Americans to die fighting for israel

PMSL - Rudy taught us how to not win an election by not campaigning until Florida. I guess he under-estimated the momentum thing. Just as well though - I didn't think he was the best candidate the Reps put up.

Now we just need to get rid of the Hillary beast and put Obama up against McCain. Very Happy

Oh yeah, to be clear where I stand - Obama/Edwards 08 - all the way!

ABC - Anyone But Clinton
