people. I lived on the border of a suburb of Montreal, Lachine, that had some lower income housing but some dead shopping areas. I was on the water and near bike paths. As they started to gentrify it with condo units and such, they insisted that low income units be built too. You can't do that unless you have a big city with lots of power.
