Poverty In Suburbs Higher-As Recent Unrest In St. Louis Suburb Shows

I'm not sure where to start.
1. There is a concerted effort by progressives to force people into urban centers and vilify suburban culture
2. If living in the city is so great, let's all move to Detroit.
3. The studies cited look at selective data. It is true that cities that are large government centers or receive lots of government funding, they are doing well overall, like all crony capitalist situations.
4. Politically disfavored suburbanites are doing less well as are all productive people not part of a crony scheme (on a macro level). Partly their money has been stolen (60% of their wealth creation is taken in govt taxes and regulations by most recent estimates).
5.Ferguson is right next to St. Louis, hardly a bedroom suburban area.

    What you say is true. Coming to an American city near you, where ever you live. That is if a terrorist does not get there first. 1 more time, I so want to be wrong.
