Re: the article.

True. Poverty IMHO is not so much about income.

But this Robert Rector fellow still doesn't get it.

If I did not have easy access to good fresh produce, if I did not have extensive public transportation, if I did not have good free medical care, if I did not have a good library, inexpensive cultural events, attractive architecture and good urban design that allows me to live without a car, a nice park nearby, a low crime rate... etc...if I did not have those things, I would consider myself to be poor.
