Other contributory causes are manifold and highly interwoven.
They run the gamut from the socio-legal framework which protects
property at the expense of human beings , to the physical problem
of the time it takes to do necessary engineering work prior to
execution. These problems cannot be dealt with in one action year
or even in five. What is required is that action begin.
There is present here not so much a new problem as a redirection
of view to perceive an existing problem. In this perception
it is necessary to point out a critical variation in the thrust of
the Model Cities program as well as the shadow of an emerging
problem which loom on Charlotte's horizon.
This variation in direction is to respond to the clear requirement for visible and effective activity to ease and ameliorate
the present conditions prevalent in the Model Neighborhood. The
neighborhood wants and needs action now, not plans, platitudes on
rhetoric. This action must be directly to the point of demonstrating the Federal, State, and local governmental commitment
to the improvement of life situations within the Model Neighborhood.
Faith in government has become a debatable issue in
many. This, is no less true of Charlotte's Model Neighborhood than it is on campus.
No new data supports the above text albeit included herein
is data which was not for First Year Planning. If
anything the situation is worse that this data suggests.
