The common theme seen throughout the reading is the constant disregard toward individual struggles when building a city into a larger economic center for the higher-income population. It seems that this is a common theme as well in America in relation to what we have seen with mass incarceration. To the higher-income population, rounding up blacks and sending them to jail looks like creating better communities with less violence and drug-use. Obviously, this is absurd. But in the long term, one would wonder what the largest American cities would look like had housing never been removed and large buildings never been placed there instead.
