[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many middle-class AA families living in affordable neighborhoods in DC and want to stay for the same reason white people do. There are poverty-stricken people living in the DC suburbs too whose schools are just as bad as the ones in DC. We just hear about them less but they are not part of the "reform" movement. Moving poor people out of DC may help with gentrification and better schools, but it won't help the poor people who left.[/quote] That's quite debatable. With housing vouchers people have the chance to start anew. And while, yes, there are poor people in the suburbs, there are nothing like the concentrations you see in the inner city. What's not debatable is that concentrating poor people in DC is not doing them any favors. There's more capacity for the poor in the suburbs. There's not in DC.[/quote] How would they get around. Not sure the burbs have sufficient mass transit.[/quote]
