Do you really think that this was a viable alternative to bussing? By that, I mean do you think that courts should have ordered this as a remedy to the problem of de facto school segregation?

OK, if we can agree to keep it to this level, I'll meet you. No, I don't even know if the courts ever had this issue in front of them, though I wouldn't mind seeing a history of court treatment of federal housing programs.
Bottom line, I don't know that the "concentration" issue was ever in front of courts (though I can't imagine why somebody didn't bring it in). But if we want a societal fix on federal programs and spending, this is something that really should be done by congress anyway.
