The lack of education may be the key to both issues. There has to be a way of ensuring that a good education is made available to everyone. A lot of people under the poverty level are “generational” and that mindset has to change BEFORE any success is made.

As far as the “shanties” go… How is the condemning of those “homes” a bad thing? If you’ve been to some Texas-Mexico border towns and have actually seen some of those areas, you must wonder how humans (particularly Americans) could allow other humans to exist like that.

We’re moving out of Boston because we can’t afford it here any more. We’re looking at Texas because it’s affordable. Boston’s loss. We’re a good, hard working family.

It means that that city has not driven out the poor as so many have, like Boston, Frisco, and Austin.
The cuase of homelessness is big government liberal elitist ZONING! and the best thing the government can do to reduce homessness is get out of the way and stop actively causing it by demolishing and condemning shanties.
