So make the neighborhood have more money to stop them from being poor? That’s a genius idea.

How does a neighborhood improve while it’s demographics remain the same?

I find it interesting in the context of ”gentrification” that the discussion often posits that some neighbourhoods should remain poor forever, sort of like outdoor museums where you can see the poor in their natural habitat.

Yeah, if I buy a case of beer, drink it all, drive around with my bike and take out my hammer and smash car windows with it, are the supermarket, bike store and hardware store responsible?

Also ”demographics” refers to a whole lot of other factors than race, although for Americans it’s usually the number one statistic of interest.
