in fixing the school systems, that's a whole different thing.

I lived in LA I lived in the doughnut hole growing up. I know about poor people and having to interact with gang members just so that I could ride my bike to my friends houses.

First, don't tie it to the housing market and tax bases of the area. I don't have kids, don't plan on it , but I know that's the game of the housing market so that's how I have to shop for a home.

But simply smooth, you are talking classism, not racism by the simple basis of there are poor in all countries. Yet they seem to still have the same strife and problems, there are people who seem to come out of those places somehow. Some of them even get enough money to emmigrate to the US of A.

New York seems to celebrate those that come from the poor neighborhoods and succeed. I don't see much of that from other cities. I don't know the reasons why, but there are many people that have come from the poor parts of the outer boroughs and achieved and succeeded.

Maybe it's because they have to compete directly with immgrants who come here fighting for the same jobs and if they don't they continue to have not.
