[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]]For anyone busting on gentrification, name one functional and [b]successful[/b] American city where [b]the majority of the population is poor [/b]and black. I expect crickets. . . [/quote] I would think any city where the majority of the population is poor would be considered unsuccessful by definition. Isn't a successful city one where the population has gotten better jobs and so is not poor? I mean there are cities where the people who did well simply left - certainly that is an issue in DC - to the extent DCPS and DC's social service system have succeeded in giving people a hand up, you won't see those folks in DC - they are in PG (but also MoCo, Charles Cty, and NoVa) I bet to the extent poor black kids have done well in Baltimore schools, they now live in Baltimore County or beyond.
