Jamie Kalven, author, The View From The Ground website >>
"In the tradition of human rights monitoring, our aim is to deepen public discourse by providing reliable information about conditions on the ground...from the perspective of those living in abandonded communities. The development of a which the building is a part of is not seen as a complex, mysterious community but as a failed 'project' to be erased. To my ear, the CHA's name for its demolition and redevelopment program--'The Plan For Transformation'--is Orwellian. Those who failed to provide maintenance and security now offer transformation. The public rhetoric sings of inclusion; the underlying logic is that of a purge."
