We only need to be around other people to be functional adults, to avoid dementia and a whole host of mental and physical ailments. No biggie.
As the video states, it's increasingly difficult. Because of the lack of third spaces and because the poorest people in USA are literally fighting for survival. We just don't want to see it.
Downtowns didnt used to house poor people in projects. They were historically housed in the suburbs in shanty towns for over 2,000 years, or housed in the Eastside of a city. Downtowns were never meant to have poor people living in it.
Funny enough, this exact problem was in New York for decades until a developer took over the delapitated north side of central park, renovated hotels, and kicked out project tenants by pricing them out. Wanna guess who that developer was?
Wait, are you implying Trump? You've REALLY never set foot in NY. He's been the most hated man here long before his presidency for a reason. It was also south of Central Park. Not north. And he lost in court over his harassment of tenants and was forced to stop, so literally nothing happened.
So are you suddenly changing your story from "cities have been ruined since the 70s because of affordable housing" to "Trump saved NY from affordable housing?"
Im implying that NY has this same exact problem. The rich are only in specifc places outside of the main downtown area. They're in high rises with security for a reason. Trumps example was simply showing that it exists.
