They are intended to increase the availability of affordable housing and improve the quality of low-income housing, while avoiding problems associated with concentrated subsidized housing. Many scattered-site units are built to be similar in appearance to other homes in the neighborhood to somewhat mask the financial stature of tenants and reduce the stigma associated with p The destruction of deteriorating buildings to make room for public housing often created problems in adjacent neighborhoods. An excellent example of this phenomenon can be found in Brooklyn. When blocks of slums in the Brownsville district were cleared to make room for public housing in the 1920s, thousands of displaced families moved into the neighboring district of East New York, which at that time was a predominantly white, middle-class area with a stable economy. The sudden influx of large, lower-income black and Hispanic families from Brownsville strained the physical and social services of the community.

When ethnocentrism is present, it has the affect of having people sort out members of society by group lines, usually by using an easily identifiable characteristic (skin tone) into "us" and "them". But Noel cautions that ethnocentrism by itself is not enough to cause ethnic stratification. There exist historical examples of groups with ethnocentric beliefs that lived side by side in peace. A second condition cited by Noel that is needed for ethnic stratification is competition. Competition is where there is a struggle for scare resources which could include anything from land, labor, jobs, and housing to educational opportunities.
There were strategies developed by the Kings County Community Homelessness Advisory Committee that he could have utilized in approaching and attacking vagrancy.

When the sun goes down, danger comes out. Criminals and delinquents prefer to do their “activities” at night, and therefore kids and teens are at a high risk of danger. This is why curfews were invented, to protect young people from the malice of the streets at night. The idea of having a curfew is a good one, because a curfew would make neighborhoods and kids safer, and will allow students to have more study time. Opponents may argue negatively towards this curfew, and say that it is bad or unjust.
