| Maybe the US should close its internal borders with high crime neighborhoods so those bad people can remain trapped among their deserving neighbors instead of robbing the more privileged classes.

Sadly, that is exactly the case. It is nearly impossible for people with no or bad credit history and bad records to move to a better neighborhood, so they stay "out there", with the other "criminals". How do you expect them to change if there's no one better to help them?



I guess you're right. Town planning enforces this too with section sizes too big for low-priced high density housing. Thus forcing poor people out.

What's weird, is people often complain these segregations are unfair or keep people trapped in poverty but don't think twice about the segregation between countries. Those Colombians kind of are being suppressed by the US and everyone else except Ecuador briefly.
