> If you're without a home, one house is very much like another. It's only once you have money and ambition that you might want a better view, better schools.

Particularly if you're poor, location matters a lot.

The very rich will build a mansion in a beautiful but inaccessible area and commute to work by helicopter. The merely rich have the nice cars to get to work. But the poor have no car so need to be either very close or within public transport (mostly nonexistent in the US) to get to that job.
