The funds for such a movement are being accumulated through the game of Lottery. Everybody will get affair chance this way. The concerned authorities are expecting to overcome the hitches that overwhelmed the town in the latter part of the Eighties. The marginal clusters were maneuvered away in general from the white neighborhood in the southern part of Boston in township named Charlestown.

''Just because you are a worker and can't afford the same level [of housing] as others, doesn't mean you should be displaced," he said.
