>a poor person issue
I lived on what eventually became a very busy street at one point, and that came with a ton of issues. We moved not that far and suddenly things became more peaceful. The city didn't change, the problems were still there, all we did was momentary side step them. They were still noticeable everywhere we went. As the problem grew it became harder to avoid them, even when going to formerly nicer areas.
They say you can't pick your neighbors. You can live in a decent area, but all it takes is for one bad person to get a lone, and they can quickly start to drive away decent residents in the area while lowering property values and attracting more of their kind. They're like a virus that can strike almost anywhere.
Besides, I've noticed places with money actually can attract poor people. Sure it pushes away the type who can't afford to live there honestly so they move on, but it attracts the people who beg for money on the streets, live off the scraps of the rich, and see easy targets for theft.
It seems to me if you live in a big wealthy city, you have to constantly swim around the shit. If you're wealthy enough you can put up barriers, gates for your community, security for your building, ect, but unless you're ridding helicopters from roof top to roof top, eventually you would still have to navigate the city streets wouldn't you?
