In an ongoing dispute with the Raleigh Housing Authority, Raleigh’s Newsobserver continues it’s polemic against one of the best run housing authorities in the South..

RALEIGH — The Raleigh Housing Authority is considering again renaming the streets in its Walnut Terrace development, replacing the names of obscure magicians with black educators and other notable figures in the neighborhood’s history.

The agency recently drew fire for changing street names in the community – which is being rebuilt as a mixed-income neighborhood – to honor historical names in magic like French conjurer Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin and Austrian card magician Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser.
