Exactly, Undustrial. Which is exactly why we need to encourage mixed income neighbourhoods as Cooke suggests. The ghettoization of the poor in our community that has been allowed to develop through the concentration of social services and subsidized housing, has created a downward spiral of disinvestment in many of our lower city neighbourhoods. We need to foster mixed income neighbourhoods so that more neighbourhoods have the critical mass of people with disposable income that is required to support amenities that will both provide jobs, and benefit all members of the community.
