- coldtea 9y agoYou'd be surprised. Not sure what you mean by "hide", but you can sure avoid it. You can even have the worst slums next to incredibly luxurious millionaire houses -- like in India for example, without ever bothering to cross paths. (An urbanist called Mike Davis has written some very important books on the subject I can recommend, e.g. concerning closed communities in LA, modern slums, privatisation of parts of public urban space to keep the poor out, etc.).
