More poverty in suburbs than in cities

The article is about the US, but I think the trends are likely identical here:

I see that all the time,...the difference being,...the poor in the suburbs aren't crying about how unfair life is,...but try do the best with what they have.

Uh, no. Clearly this is the result of society being racist towards the suburbs.

Clearly you don't live in Toronto, where we build subways in low density suburbs, just because they "…don't have a subway yet"., not in the high-density core where people need and use transit. If you did live in Toronto, you'd have noted the huge outcry at the suggestion out-of-town drivers chip in half the cost of a TTC ride to cover the cost of the road that exists only to bring them in and out of the city.

"Unfair" was exactly the word most often used by those poor 'burbanites.
