24. When We Try To "Mix Up the Neighborhoods"...
...it quickly turns into "Yuppification", as the poor get forced out
by skyrocketing rents.

Often the poor get forced way out into the hinterlands, where they
face long commutes and poor or nonexistant public transportation,
forcing them to buy an old gas guzzler to get around.

That's the problem with "reverse suburban sprawl". The city isn't
big enough for everybody.
