Occasionally, I'm reminded of a star trek DS9 episode with a time-travel plot that put characters in 2024 in San Francisco. While SF isn't exactly at the dystopia described, it's not that far off. - Poor, mentally ill or unhoused people are corralled into a lawless district. Though the district was perhaps set up with some justification about helping people, it mostly just segregates the very poor from being seen - The society has extreme wealth inequality; Dax meets/befriends a tech entrepreneur in BART - We even meet a low-level administrator who knows that the system isn't working but says something like "I need this job" https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Bell_Riots https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Bell_Riots
