Whenever I have been working/etc.in poor areas in the US, it's actually easier to deal with people and get business done. A lot of places like Richmond, CA are full of nice people who will buy you lunch.

One example: There were *62 shootings on one beat on the city’s West Side( compared to *77 shootings in the 16 beats* in the greater downtown area of Chicago. A failure to control violent crime mostly hurts the poorest Americans. https://t.co/uO6iBn1JuZ
