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.
