Not that I want this to be the hill I die on but increase person density and the frequency of shitty people increases. In higher income areas the tree canopies cover streets and it’s beautiful. I want to live there. I can’t and really don’t want to afford a 7500 sq ft home though. That goes to the point of diverse neighborhoods. Even if there was this great equalizer street, capitalism says if there’s something worth less we’re going to exploit it. The worth in this situation is people. You pay for your neighbors right? Push out the lower income and pull the higher income. I don’t know lower or mid low have that power to name the Jones’.
