Eventually, we will have to stop running

This piece in the American Spectator is true of the Denver area:

as cities continue their downward spiral more of the underclass has moved to the older, inner-ring suburbs. With an aging population and the popularity of retirement communities, there is now a surplus of suburban housing; some of these homes end up as rental properties for poor people who in the past would never have dreamed of living in suburbia. (Though the lack of public transportation and unskilled jobs often turns this dream into a nightmare.) Not surprisingly these areas have begun to experience the crime and poverty long associated with the inner cities. This, in turn, forces the suburban middle class either farther out to the exurbs or back to middle-class enclaves in the city.

Christopher Orlet writes that

City, suburb, country, no place is immune to poverty and crime. Eventually, we will have to stop running and address the culture of poverty head on.
