[quote=Anonymous]Poor people don't have money. For-profit businesses tend to go where the money is located. All of this goes back to the economic and housing Redlining of the first half of the 20th century. We are literally still feeling the effects of that governmental policy 100 years later. Those decisions affect the quality of public schools, public services, the housing stock, and things as mundane as the location of banks and grocery stores. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.[/quote]
