The communist underpinnings of this study are laughable. The author is attempting to assert that the quality of life of people in the nicer areas of town would be enhanced by mixing in lower socio-economic groups. That's funny... none of the people in the nicer areas believe a shred of that, else they'd move to the other areas of town. Beyond that, the author's solution to this imagined problem is to dismantle the things that make the nice part of town the nice part of town. Perhaps we should get rid of nice hotels and restaurants, while we're at it. Wealth is not a resource, it's an indicator. It's directly related to a person's integrity, drive, ingenuity, intelligence, education, and physical capabilities. There are people that have genuinely been kicked in the teeth by life, but we have never lived in an era of greater opportunity in the US.
