From the Washington Post article:
Researchers examining what happened to 4,248 families that were randomly given or denied federal housing vouchers to move out of their high-poverty neighborhoods found no significant difference about seven years later between the achievement of children who moved to more middle-class neighborhoods and those who didn’t. Although some children had more stable lives and better academic results after the moves, the researchers said, on average there was no improvement. Boys and brighter students appeared to have more behavioral problems in their new schools, the studies found.
The left-leaning authors of the report suggest that the destination neighborhoods were not affluent enough or suffered from racial segregation. You know, HUD just did not spend enough money to really make the program work.
This is just more evidence that inclusionary zoning is bad public policy.
