CLINTON'S NEW PUBLIC HOUSING

Many of the highrise tenements used asurban public housingwill soon be replaced by "smaller, more humane" buildings under a new Clinton Administration plan. Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros announced the policy shift today, stating that the projects only lead to "community despair" while public townhouses, smaller apartment buildings and tree-lined streets will result in "community pride." Units in Philadelphia, St. Louis and Atlanta are already slated for demolition over the next two months, while 29 other developments will be replaced over the next year.
