[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about the opposite? Dilute the FARMS families to the burbs, where there's more likely to be a critical mass of middle-class that could absorb it? Rents are a lot cheaper outside of the city, and it's not as though there has ever been any real opportunity for life change for folks in multigenerational poverty as long as they stay in the city.[/quote] Ah yes, ship the poor folks out to the burbs and make them commute into the city for their jobs. [/quote] If they had worthwhile jobs in the city, they wouldn't be FARMS in the first place. And consider that thousands of people commute into the city because they can't afford to live in the city. Lower cost of living outside the city can more than offset the cost of commuting.[/quote] Not when you're talking about jobs that pay 9 bucks an hour.[/quote]
