There were a number of incidents back then while the West End was in decline. These seemed “normal” at the time but appear shocking in retrospect. My kids, growing up in an affluent suburb, have no idea that such things go on.

For example, the house immediately behind us on Althea Street was set on fire one night. The fire trucks were there for several hours. The building was reduced to a shell. The next morning, someone asked if I had seen what had happened. When I mentioned the fire, they said “Not the fire. The guy that got shot.” Turns out there was a “hit” later that night a little further down the street. A man was gunned down as he was getting dropped off outside his house.

There is an Wall Street Journal editorial entitled “Can Detroit Be Saved?” that can be found at opinionjournal.com (December 19 edition).

With some adjustments it could be entitled “Can Providence Be Saved”.

Former basketball star Dave Bing is now mayor of Detroit. He is trying to administer the tough love necessary to arrest decline. Someone should try the same in Providence — but not sure Marvin Barnes is the right person to pull it off

“I was shocked and a little frightened to see the man at church the following week.”

I hope you didn’t see him the week after that.

Wow, that is a crazy story there.

Back in the 70s this house was the site of a hostage standoff. The man who lived there at the time held his family at gunpoint for a number of hours while police cars lined the opposite side of Waverly St. bumper to bumper. Multiple officers were placed behind the cars with rifles aimed at the house. It was reportedly one of the priests from the Assumption Church who finally convinced the man to surrender peacefully. I was shocked and a little frightened to see the man at church the following week.

It is well to remember the “Democracy operates by hysteria”, those who guide its movements are well aware of this. Regard the current “global warming” mania. “Consensus” is everywhere. Science does not operate by consensus, it relies on “fact”. Those are strangely absent. Everyone knows that portions of the arctic ice pack are shrinking, only those who make an investigation will find that the total ice pack is increasing. “Earth Day” was created to combat the “coming Ice Age”. 25 years later, this has been transformed to “global warming”. No one seems to have noticed the shift, or remember that the “best science” predicted a new Ice Age. In fact, James Hansen, the “NASA scientist” proclaiming “global warming” is the same “NASA scientist” who campaigned for the “coming Ice age”. No one cares that the famous photo of the polar bear on the small piece of ice was a staged “photo op”.

In any case, sometimes you have to wait for the dust to settle. 15 years ago I was going to tackle a building in Mass with lead paint problems. Since no one really understood the problem, and feared responsibility for error, I would have been required to tent the building and bring in men with respirators to hand scrape the building. Needless to say, I passed on that one. Now, the exterior lead is pretty much ignored, and the interior could be handled by “encapsulation”. Since many RI officials staked their reputations on the “Lead Paint Suit”, it will be a long time before they are prepared to back off. In the meanwhile, little will be done.

Just pragmatisim, I would pass on a building in RI with lead paint problems.

That’s the thing, economical methods to deal with the lead, including subsidies from the city, are available, but yet, it’s still not done by some landlords. It’s not a terrible issue to fix, but part of the “forgotten house” mindset.

Too easy to forget. Too easy not to comply, even with basic measures. No one’s accountable.
