I agree. Back to risk being inequitably distributed. The poor are
at far greater risk generally than the rich.

This is a space though where it is easier to see the problems
than the solutions. The poor are hardly saints.

Agreed. The Atlantic had an article recently talking about the fact that crime is spreading in the mid-tier cities.

Analysis of the statistics indicates that there is a high correlation between where the people from torn-down housing projects move to and an increase in crime rate. Basically, instead of one very bad area you now have a bunch of marginal areas that get dragged down (because, of course, the people don't suddenly gain the resources to move into a good area, after all). That's an own goal for the social engineering crowd.

Good intentions don't cut it. You have to keep watching things and make sure that the evidence backs it up.
