First - let's think about who thinks like this primarily:
Relatively wealthy people in suburban or rural areas (who are by no means actually wealthy by American standards).
Poverty isn't going to affect their neighborhoods. You don't go from having a $750k house on the outskirts of a suburb of Atlanta or Dallas or a $500k house in Montgomery Al or Jackson MS to suddenly being overwhelmed with neighborhood poverty because Walmart comes in or a bunch of unions in town get busted.
The affects will be felt in the suburban center where the lower middle class and poorer renters live.
The crime that follows will almost exclusively be problems for OTHER people.
If they have this thinking, they couldn't care less about crime in YOUR neighborhood.
You can bet, for sure, if crime makes its way to THEIR neighborhood, they'll immediately get more police force - probably paid for primarily at YOUR expense.
