It’s almost like there’s a correlation to living in poverty and crime! Wow!
I agree with your second point, and will add that there are often extra expenses in opening in poor areas (insurance requirements are a big one). That’s why government grants and financing are important to help offset these costs. Five Points in Buffalo was a drug-filled hovel before investment, and now it’s a thriving neighborhood.
I ignored your “point” about the Democrat homes because it’s not remotely the same thing.
