Can you explain further? Because it sure sounds like you're somehow equating people being on food stamps as being bad neighbors or friends. I'd like you to explain your logic here.
- thaumasiotes 8y agoA neighborhood full of people on food stamps is a bad neighborhood. Those people are the people who the residents of good neighborhoods are trying to stay away from. They are fairly likely to be good neighbors to each other, in that impoverished people are generally part of a favor-trading network with family and neighbors. But they are undesirable neighbors to other people.
- fzeroracer 8y agoAnd where, exactly, is your proof? Why would people be on food stamps be considered bad for a neighborhood, and what do you mean by 'Those people'? What makes them 'undesirable'? I've lived near people on food stamps before, either due to temporary circumstances or permanent ones. I'd like you to properly explain your reasoning here considering it's ringing 'White Flight' alarms in my head.
