I don't get the romanticization of the under class. In poor neighborhoods, there are lots of noise, litter, and crime and few good role models. Why would you want that in your neighborhood? To prove how open-minded you are?
Almost nobody wants that. Even liberals who speak on behalf of the poor generally don't want their kids to attend the same schools as "the poor", nor do they want to live in the same neighborhoods as "the poor".
Generally, a poor neighborhood is a good place to be from, to contrast with present circumstances and look at how far you've come. It's not a good place to be.
