A reporter visited a few sites and was shocked by what she saw. No children playing. No residents outside. The constant pop-pop-pop of random gunfire. Broken glass scattered across trashed playground equipment. Pools of human blood spilled across the sidewalk, remaining there for days. Remaining citizens cowering in internal rooms of their homes for fear of their safety. Animals and insects coming in through gaping holes in the roof. Narcotics trafficking and looting in broad daylight.

Where was this? Afghanistan? Iraq? Sudan? South Ossetia? Tijuana? No. Urban public housing in the United States.
