And all areas have public schools.
Just look at CA for example.
Supply and demand
Not every poor person is poor due to their own choices.
Can anyone in this discussion explain gentrification of poor urban neighborhoods by yuppies
True, their self discipline is also a significant on whether they stay poor, or not.

Opportunity…
I wonder, just kind hypothetically, what happesn if we subsidize demand and then subsidize demand, and then subsidize it some more.
Like, if we buy a bunch of apples and give them to the poors,
and we provide tax breaks for anyone who buys apples,
and then provide low-interest loans so people could buy even more apples . . .
pretty soon demand for apples would increase to some high level, wouldn’t it?

I really believe you ve hit on something in starting this thread..it’s kind of a circular problem…once neighborhoods start to collapse it’s hard to bring them back as people continue to not want live in them if they can afford to get out.
There’s another factor…not sure how it contributes and I know, every thread doesn’t have to be an illegal immigration thread but…
Our country did just let 15 or so million migrants cross the southern border. They can’t all be living in south Texas or hotels in New York. That’s got to be impacting our housing situation too doesn’t it?

People move into cheaper areas but their jobs or education of their families don’t rely on their residency. Once you get a critical mass you get restaurants and businesses that attract people into that neighborhood. Boom real estate skyrockets and original residents can’t afford to stay there.

Hard?
Well I see three possible choices:
Door #1) – Keep doing what we are doing and keep adding to it incrementally over the years. (Continue social promotion in schools, free money for fatherless famiies and a revolving-door justice system.)
Door #2) – Stop doing what we are doing. Undo what we have done.
Door #3) – Something in between.
Sometimes “hard” doesn’t mean “hard.”
Sometimes it means we have to stop choosing Door #1 and, once we do that, the rest is easy.

I can agree with that.
Decline is a choice.
If you don’t believe me just look at what’s happened over the last four years in America under the leadership of leftist idiots.

Mmmmm. What happens to the poor when they start making good choices?
And what happens when they get out and take that poverty mindset with them?
What you’re not changing, you’re choosing.

I disagree. Entropy is a fact. Success requires constant intervention.

Highly possible, maybe probable.
It’s the same thing that happens when libs escape New York and California come to Texas and Florida and Tennessee and try to turn those states into what they escaped!

We could have fun in this all day…but I do t have time.
I don’t disagree with your statement…
Success requires work…but allowing decline is also a choice. It’s just a different set of choices.
This administration has created decline in America courtesy of its terrible economic policies and stupid but intentional border invasion. Flooding neighborhoods with illegals was a choice.
I’ve succeeded in my life because of my hard work…I’ve failed in my life because I chose not to do the work that needed to be done.
This is turning into a Kommie level word salad but you get my drift. Have a great day my friend.

You said the same thing with more words.
I will add this: the intervention must be the correct intervention. Not just intervention.
