Inner City Generational Cycle: Grow Up To Let Down

        If there is any way for me to best describe the way in which inner city communities mature, I would deem it a perpetual reverse maturation of said communities in attempts to keep up with the expectations of the world. People are left in states of turmoil as the world beyond their outskirts continues to thrive, and this concern is not becoming any less distressing with time, it is simply recycling itself time and time again, generation after generation.
                Many of the problems that are faced by impoverished communities come from deindustrialization in urban environments, which sparks the chain reaction to perpetual depravity. Life and work in the suburbs became the new urban. People saw life outside the city as being a good way to separate walks of life; work versus play so to speak. As people began to make their way out of the urban reaches, in time industry followed suit and found its way into the suburbs. This movement of work from urban areas and into ‘satellite cities’ was seen as a good move for industry as it allowed for the spread of business networks and helped the globalization of industry, however, it concurrently proceeded to  restrained the populations that nurtured the beginnings of this industry from being a part of the formal economy of the world. Manufacturing, one of the key industries for urbanites has been swept out from under their feet as suburbia becomes in large part the home of many manufacturing procedures (70 percent of manufacturing for New York and Philadelphia conducted in suburbs and similar figures for urban areas across America). With the movement of these jobs out to the suburb, barriers were built in nicer suburbs by means of exclusionary zones which kept less affluent people from moving into the more affluent suburban areas, in essence keeping the jobs away from the urbanites and then the urbanites away from the jobs. 
                Political economic structures are doing little to resolve the issue of this cyclical despair. First of all, impoverished individuals are all being funneled into the same regions for residence. It can be seen that there is a strategy to sort these populations in such a way just from viewing the communities stricken with poverty in the time between the 1970s and 1990s (regarding Chicago’s poverty population). It is visible, and furthermore reasonable, to look at the city plots and realize that some places are designated specifically for poorer populations, otherwise these plots would not be so cleanly clustered as they are and they would bear far less of a gradient across the board entirely. A question in response that I have to this is the perplexity of how these populations are to be benefit from residing in these communities if the communities consist solely of depravity. Putting a lot of people without the aforementioned poor economic standing as well as a lack of resources, employment connections, proper schooling, or other misfortune into a population together will do nothing to progress their mutual issue. Accompany this with the relocation of work and workers out of that region to find potential elsewhere and it will just keep the whole community stagnant, keep them in a state of isolation where the concentration of people that are left are hopelessly cut off from the world and, in turn, a chance to be a part of an economy that would save them from sinking.
                So as it is apparent that people’s locations are going to be sorted based on their class, the question lies as to whether lines will ever have blurring potential between the more affluent communities and those impoverished. However this does not seem likely based on perceptions of impoverished communities. Politicians with the pull to help people are not doing so because their idea of what is causal is out of whack, as they see impoverished people as being responsible for their own deprivation due to drug use and crime, where in fact these are mere symptoms of the deprivation disease they undertake daily. This furthers them into poverty, making for more of the supposed “causes of deprivation” to strike again and harder, but in an attempt to survive, not out of a perceived inherent deviance within these communities.
                From the initial desire to take work out of the city limits all the way to views on the populations that comprise urban regions, all of the above factors together and you have a merry-go-round of deprivation with a world of carneys on the outside not interested in pulling the break and letting you off.
