To try and break the cycle of poverty, it could be beneficial for people from diverse income levels be sprinkled together and live in closer proximity to each other. Currently those who have a low income are surrounded by others who are also living in poverty. As a result, people don't associate or even see people with different backgrounds, skills, and even jobs. They often don’t have the opportunity to share and see people with different life experiences than they those who are also living within that same cycle of poverty. Here is a recommendation of a possible change:
When a new apartment or condominium is built, a certain percentage of the apartments or condos could be assigned for low income housing. Those homes assigned for a low income person could be assigned by lottery and mixed in with homes where more moderate and higher income people live. This could provide the opportunity for those from a low income level live and mix with those in higher income, and probably a nicer community.
The networking of all types of income ranges could be meshed together in this new type of community by living in similar surroundings. People of low income could have the ability to network with those who may have been in a different class structure than the type of low income housing model we have now. The "cycle of poverty" may even be curtailed when people with diverse backgrounds can come together and live near one another.
