Sure, but they aren't buying houses at that age. He's talking about changing mindset by providing cheap housing. His experience, and mine, is that doesn't work.
Some people will take low income housing and make it a palace, but I feel those people have that desire, before they're afforded the opportunity.

I agree completely. My point was that it doesn't mean we should give up on trying to break the poverty cycle. It just means this method won't work. And that's the point of the research and foundation I pointed out. They only help the adults to the extent of helping them learn to raise a better generation.
