[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering that most cities spend a considerable amount of energy trying to figure out how to reduce poverty, to pretend that increasing the poverty in a neighborhood 300% to make it a high poverty neighborhood is no big deal seems like an odd posture that is unlikely to find broad support and not because as you think people are racist and classist NIMBYS. The reason is because it’s an undesirable policy outcome. Hope that helps to clarify things for you. [/quote]

DP, but no, it doesn't. Shouldn't every level of government, in every kind of area (urban, suburban, rural) be spending a considerable amount of energy on poverty-reduction measures? And if x% of the population of the area is poor, then dispersing the poor people throughout the area doesn't increase the poverty of the area, relative to concentrating all of the poor people in one small part of the area; it's still x% of the population that's poor, either way.

The fact that you think poor people are like pollution says a lot about you and is pretty messed up. [/quote]
