I am surprised people are shocked by this. Personally, I live in Berkeley - within a 20 mile footprint you have a nice sampling of exorbitant wealth and abject poverty. As you drive through you can see drastic changes of roadside advertisements transitioning between English, Chinese, and Spanish. In the poor areas of town bus stations are plastered with high-interest payday loans. Drive 5 miles North and you will see advertisements for expensive art/music events. Drive slightly more North and you will see endless advertisements for divorce and accident lawyers. It would be a miracle if all of this store location/advertisement placement was coincidence. It's such a shtark reality you can stand at the Bus Station, read the bus outside advertisements, and estimate if it's likely to be going where you are. But once you get inside the bus where fewer people of wealth can see, you no longer can.
