Awaiting solution

To the editor:

Thanks to Leita Walker for the fine articles on the plight of low-income citizens trapped in substandard housing — and the consequences that ensue if they try to do something about it.

So long as the conspiracy of silence between our city, our landlords and the hapless tenants themselves — afraid to speak up and find themselves homeless — continues, no change is possible. Thanks to Walker and to the Journal-World editors for breaking that silence.

I look forward to reading what possible solutions our community has — or will devise.

Hilda Enoch,
