[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone busting on gentrification, name one functional and successful American city where the majority of the population is poor and black.

There’s no clear pathway for those folks to improve or get out and the cycle continues.[/quote] Finishing school, not getting pregnant and not taking or selling drugs would be a step in the right direction. But I guess even that’s hard when there are no good examples or role models. [/quote]
