You live in a fantasy world. People are poor. People are stupid. People make bad life choices. Standing over them and declaring that they should have lived differently doesn't help anything. You still have to do something with these people. And no, I don't think the solution is banning economic growth or whatever nonsense super commie thing you think I want. We can build nice upscale areas AND help the poor.

People are stupid, and they make bad choices. Giving them a free pass every time is not going to show people that they need to think and make better choices. There's a difference between making a mistake, and being stuck in a perpetual pile of shit because you're too hard-headed and stupid to care. Your line of thinking enables the normalization of the latter.

So what exactly is your suggestion? We need to completely abandon these areas so fear and desperation will either force them to figure shit out or crumble? With what money and resources will this occur? Do you not see the glaring problem with telling poor, uneducated people to figure it out on their own? We need to give them something even if we want them to self sustain. They need tools.

Here I thought we lived in a country. Not a collection of sovereign neighborhoods.
