What's the other side, but portrayed as a straw-man?

Chasing the poor out of the city by sending armed thugs after them, redistributing wealth from poor to rich by ratcheting up rents, keeping rich to poor wealth redistribution to a minimum, and importing more yuppies until gentrification is completed. At some point the poor will be displaced thus reducing wealth inequality in the city thus reducing crime.

In well-run cities, that stay on top of public safety and hygiene, extreme measures never become necessary.

In well run cities and countries this doesn't happen in the first place.

Stop criminalizing poverty and try actually solving the problem.

They're not doing that. No city is doing that. Your way of thinking leads to punishing people for being poor.

I understand that social climbing requires participation in this lying game. Maybe your HN account is tied to your irl identity, so I understand if you can't speak honestly here.
