Furthermore, have you ever actually lived in a slum or experienced the various psychological effects of living in a slum?

I've lived in some slums, and I of course could leave for another neighborhood when I wanted sometimes, but just living in that area resulted in a "lost year" of productivity and mental health. And I had a car; I can't imagine what it would have been like if my transportation options were significantly more limited.

But then, you've previously argued that it's prima facie ridiculous to be concerned about what actually happens to minorities or the poor whatsoever, so I guess arguing this with you is beyond the point, because we come from completely different beliefs about what actually improves the human condition or whether anyone needs to be happier at all. So in short, oh hay sup Economic Geography.
