What if the "poor people" become a nuisance? Such articles always frame things in a rosy light, as if the evil rich planners are the only reason people are divided. What if the poor people are alcoholics, drug dealers, petty thieves, antisocial people? Why should other people be forced to deal with them?

do only poor people mess up? why should i have to put up with that rich neighbors son who thinks he can do whatever he wants because his parents keep bailing him out? this attitude is clearly discrimination and unfair.

  The poor peole (on welfare) are mor likely to be trouble - they are on welfare for a reason.. Rich people pay good money to be shielded from trouble. Do you have children? Did you get a cheap flat in the poor part of town? Many families pay higher rents, so that their kids have save streets and playgrounds to play in. In my middle class neighborhood, I am not aware if a rich kid causing trouble. What trouble do you have in mind? Loud parties? Is the rich kid going to steal my kid's iPhones? I am talking about violence, pollution, syringes on playgrounds, stuff like that.

    > The poor people (on welfare) are more likely to be trouble - they are on welfare for a reason.. as someone who's family has lived on welfare too, i find that notion insulting. the reason for people being on welfare most often has nothing to do with people getting in trouble. loosing a job, divorce, natural disasters, illness in the family. there are many reasons someone could need welfare. i urge you to really meet these people and understand their situation instead of dismissing them like that.

      The likelihood is higher. That doesn't mean every poor person has issues. Being offended about reality makes no sense. The things you mentioned can be reasons, but so can mental illness, including drug addiction.
