[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 475569, member: 11791"] oh, the joys of the english language... Lets see... If you call them tenements, it implies apartment-style, which precludes row-housing. If you call them HUDs or ghettos or such, it implies very-run-down and dangerous areas, not always public housing but often is. BUT... not all public housing is that way. Canadians would call it subsidized housing... here, it is never "single family dwellings", but could be town-homes, row-housing, or apartments... any of which can be "good" or "bad"... Maybe you need a bigger thesaurus? [/QUOTE]
