yes panick21_, you're totally right, fixing the poor people problem is totally easy, if only people would listen to you!


Lol, who is moving the goal posts now. You simply lost the argument.

Nothing completely solves the poor people problem and I have not claimed on doing so. Specially when we talk about thing we do in first world nations, as most people live in places like India and Indonesia and the problems there are actually pretty different.

They lack infrastructure when in the US the problem is actually that there is, to much and it not used effectively.

This articles is about:

> The cost of being poor: Why it costs so much to be poor in America

And I am point out things that are almost universally accepted by urban planning community know-days. It address this specific point, why cost of living are so high in the US for poor people.

Addressing these points would not solve poverty, but it would reduce a huge cost burden from a huge part of the population and would improve living quality substantially.

This was modeled by a famous urban planner for California: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUtdFbK4YG4
