some people here on CD seem to think that displacing the poor actually helps them.

someone needs to explain how this is so.

for example, we knock down a load of low income housing, replace it with high end apartments, and miraculously the poor benefit?

I mean, WTF!

so, the rich yuppies move in whilst the original residents are left in a slum somewhere on the edge of town, or maybe sleeping in a tent in the local park.

So what's the benefit here?

The city gets more money from property tax, ultimately, that money is used to help the poor.

No we don't. You work 14 hours a day and live in a hut (by your own admission). Since you have so much time to start so many dumb-ass threads, go Google something. Research is your friend.

In low cost housing areas away from down town. If many of them don't work why would they need to be near job centers?

who says they don't work?

I"m sure plenty have jobs - and why make it even harder for them to look for work by shoving them out into the suburbs - or is it more a case of 'out of sight, out of mind'?
