generally,,, idk. i lived in Stuyvesant Town for a time, in Manhattan. it, was not blighted. it was effin amazing and i miss the living there, a lot. a lot, alot. if you didn't earn 150k+ in the city, it was pretty much the best thing going. new york city's post-war housing was not "low income", it was affordable housing. it was meant for working class folks. blight doesn't happen because something was initially meant for use by "low income" folks. blight happens because of neglect or stagnation. the term blight itself: "a plant disease, especially one caused by fungi such as mildews, rusts, and smuts." so to stigmatize "low income" as being "blight" prone is to so badly conflate the issues involved as to verge on ignorance.
