Here is another thing that comes to mind when I hear about the violence and the dysfunctional families. We're building things at the end here. If we think of it as a spectrum, we're at the far end of the spectrum: we're building housing because we haven't been able to deal adequately with people who are in stressful situations with one another.
What are we doing with regard to looking at the starting point rather than the end point? What are we doing with regard to asking whether we are putting together family counselling operations or supplying educational programs for young people, programs that challenge them rather than see them running away from that building called “school”? What kind of front-end operations are we looking at that would alleviate the back end?
