Navneet Kaur’s husband, Gurbal Singh, grew up in Rindge Towers in North Cambridge 2o years ago, back when it was a place to avoid — especially after dark.
The imposing towers near the Alewife MBTA station looked like two 20-story fortresses, betraying their origins as late-1960s subsidized housing. Security was pretty much nonexistent. The staff wasn’t known for its sensitivity to residents’ needs. Many of the tenants were counting the days until they could leave.

How many generations are going to keep using public housing? We should be working to get people out of public housing and making it on their own. Or is this a case of entitlement, I grew up on the dole, now my kids can?
My sentiments exactly godmother. "he was reluctant" then make something happen.
