[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's say people move for two reasons -- because they have to or because they want to. Some poor folks in DC might like living here because they [b]have friends and family here[/b] and will only leave if they have to -- because rents go up and they can't afford to stay in the neighborhood. Or some might want to move because they get a better job out of town or have other family they want to live near -- you know, just like non-poor people.[/quote] What kind of community of friends and family is it, when they don't help out? Why stay when one could move out, find a good job and good living, and then have the luxury and money to come back to visit any time? Or better yet, come back and help your friends and family find a way out as well? Why is it we end up with so many immigrants from south of the border? Its because they figured out that they could come to America, escape the poverty in Mexico, Guatemala, et cetera and have a better quality of life - and also form a mechanism by which they can also help their friends and family also escape that poverty. Yet Americans can't seem to figure that out as well. Difference is in a lack of motivation, poor Americans don't want escape from poverty and success in America anywhere nearly as much as others do.[/quote]
