I once read an article about how Overland Park/Olathe struggled with finding people who could work low wage jobs, and my first thought was how much harder it would be in a city where housing/rent is actually crazy.

Low Income Family exceptions are a huge thing here and fully backed by the mayor and city council.
I'm totally onboard. Everyone needs a chance. They shouldn't be pushed out because of a $100 million dollar development that robs them of their apartment.
The irony is that the lower income families that I know push their kids way harder than higher income families.
People outside of places like Los Angeles seem to demonize people of Hispanic origin yet those families that I know work harder than outsiders can imagine.
