how many of you would not care if all the ghettos and everything in it were annihilated?

Since quite often, the ghetto's are located in an area that would otherwise be prime real estate, (SF's Bayview/Hunter's Point, Richmond, Oakland. East Palo Alto just for a few examples) then (for the first time, this is the appropriate response)
Just nuke them from outer space...it IS the only way to know for sure...

The problem is, if you annihilated all of the ghettos, you'd put a bunch of liquor stores, pawn shops and fast food joints out of business. Used car dealers could no longer make a profit by reposessing and reselling the same car half a dozen times. Bad idea for the economy! :evil:

annihilate: to vanquish completely

Someone just got done reading Mein Kampf.

The Final Solution:

With the implementation of the "Final Solution" (the plan to murder all European Jews) beginning in late 1941, the Germans systematically destroyed the ghettos. The Germans and their auxiliaries either shot ghetto residents in mass graves located nearby or deported them, usually by train, to killing centers where they were murdered.

I just built 10 police stations and fire departments in the area. If that didn't work, tear down or start yelling obscenities.

Like Hitler's obit would read:

The devoted Chancellor, husband and dog lover passed away this April 30, 1945 surrounded by his closest friends at his Berlin office. Known for his devotion to his country and the advancement of various technologies to improve travel over unimproved ground and previously closed air routes he will undoubtedly be sorely missed. Though his decisions could be called unconventional by some he clearly commanded the respect of his friends, family and followers.

Some people here need counseling.

I said the last because there is no option that would represent what I would want.

I wish gettos never existed or they are eliminated, but not by just nuking the place from orbit. Rather, I would love to see some great social movement inspire those living there to change their lives for the better and improve what they have.

Reading is good, but understanding is better. The "Ghetto" that Hitler referred to is VERY different from what we consider to be a ghetto now. Hitler was referring to Jewish enclaves and neighborhoods because at that time in Europe Jews were mostly forced to live segregated from the rest of the population. They were sometimes poor, but often "Ghettos" of Hitlers time were clean, prosperous and crime free. They cooperated because most of the time the Jews were the victims of crimes committed by Gentiles, they were not the perpetrators of crimes against other Jews or other ethnic groups. Ghettos were not dangerous places and they did not infect other nearby neighborhoods with crime spilling out of them like the modern definition of ghettos.

Stop giving them welfare and force them to work for a living.

I am for people to form their own groups of town watch and try to discourage or antagonize crime where and when it happens instead of idly standing by. I also think the government should put more pressure on the heaps of trash that also known as gang members by tightening up the loose vagina known as the welfare system.

Massive inflation. You just got rid of everyone who worked for anywhere from minimum wage to $15/hr. Now McDonalds and your local gas station and 7-eleven and your gracery store have to pay out $20/hr+ for basic low end employees. They can't afford to do that at current prices, so they raise prices on everything. A chain reaction results, because the employees can't afford to live on the money they make after inflation, and leave their jobs, company foriced to pay even more, inflation goes out of control.
