Bussing was a really bad idea. It punished the motivated families for living in good school districts. I'm talking more along the lines of not supporting ghettoization with public housing policy. The families I've seen often need some pretty basic training on parenting and house-keeping, but they live in large multi-family houses with other people on public support. Landlords with crap properties seek out these people and landlords with decent properties, logically, avoid them like the plague. It doesn't help that home economics is a dying or non-existant program in high schools because everything is geared to tests not to daily living skills. We need to start handing out birth control like candy as well. What were we talking about?
