It was fun reading through that OP thinking “well, this seems like a cool way to just remove poor people from an area while possibly dodging regs about affordable housing, but I will withold judgment until I see what benefits you think that captures” only to to realize that those were the benefits.
Imagine being so evil that you spend your days thinking up cool new ways to help the wealthy avoid contact with the poor while simultaneously saving them (the wealthy) money (which they, definitionally, have plenty of).
Fuckin’ imagine.Do you think the wealth of annoying and/or violent people on public transportation tends to be higher or lower than that of the average rider?
Don’t worry: I still harbor the same wildly classist assumptions you do, I just counter-balance them with a white-hat-liberal conviction that the poor should be allowed to move through cities by some means other than “crawling on their bellies with eyes downcast lest they offend my sight.”
