Concentrated Area of poverty

People more commonly use the term ghettos. The term is incorrect when describing Blacks in America. Blacks live in concentrated areas of poverty. Not ghettos that is a term that was used to describe where Jewish people lived.

Well I'm headed to a well known concentrated area of poverty pray for me.

Theory of Constructed Poverty

The argument that poverty is not just a lack of money but a social status and material condition that is actively produced and maintained by systems. Laws, economic policies, discriminatory practices, and spatial planning (like redlining) construct barriers that prevent groups of people from accessing wealth, trapping them in a condition defined as "poor." Poverty is less an individual failing and more the outcome of a societal blueprint that allocates deprivation.

*Example: "Her neighborhood had no grocery store, bad schools, and predatory lenders—all while being a 10-minute drive from a booming business district. The Theory of Constructed Poverty explains this: it's not an accident. Decades of zoning, disinvestment, and policing policies literally constructed that landscape of need. The poverty was built into the infrastructure, brick by bureaucratic brick."*

vo po

Authorities on the Viva bus, located in York Region in Ontario. You do not have to show a ticket to get on the Viva, as they are purchased at the bus stop before boarding. Viva police, or vo po, patrol random buses asking everyone for their tickets. If you are caught without a ticket, you are given a $150.00 fine. As you rarely encounter these people on your bus ride, the Viva is commonly called freeva.

John and I were about to get onto the freeva before we spotted the vo po.
Andrew was busted by the vo po.
