The issue is that "poverty" is just made up. It's not a real thing. There's no problem with people being poor nor is there a level of poor that's too poor. The concept of poverty is stupid. If you can't afford to live then you ought not to live.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of laws that prevent people from living how they want to live but I also understand why cities wouldn't want slums. They should allow them but keep them segregated, imo.
