米国的真正的贫民区指政府盖的廉价供穷人租赁的住宅区。相对而言,你这个是富有的穷人区。嘿嘿。参阅这个:

Stateway Gardens was a Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) project in the Bronzeville neighborhood of the South Side of Chicago, resting alongside the Dan Ryan highway, adjacent to the former Robert Taylor Homes.
In 1984, Stateway Gardens was within the sixth poorest U.S. census tracts, according to a Roosevelt University study. Cabrini-Green on the North Side ranked seventh in the same study. Amid rising crime in CHA developments in the early 1980s, the Chicago Police department launched a Public Housing Crime Unit to replace private security guards at those sites. In 1988, (prior to the forming of the CHA Police Department) the South Side's Wentworth Police District (which included Stateway Gardens and the Robert Taylor Homes) had 67 homicides, the highest of any district in the city.
The Federal Government created Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere (known as HOPE VI) in 1993 as a way to provide funds for cities to demolish dilapidated public-housing units and replace them with mixed-income communities. In 1995, Federal officials seized control of all Chicago Housing Authority holdings and property amid allegations of corruption and graft. Corruption certainly is nothing new in Chicago. Four years later, the CHA successfully left federal receivership.
In 1996, demolition of Cabrini-Green began. This marked the start of what eventually came to be known as the Chicago Housing Authority's Plan for Transformation. One year later, demolition began at the Robert Taylor Homes. In 2000, the CHA formally approved the 10-year Plan for Transformation to remake public housing and demolition began at Stateway Gardens.
In October 2006, families living in the last remaining building (3651-53 S. Federal St.) at Stateway Gardens were scheduled to leave. The building was finally demolished in June 2007, making way for Phase 1 of the mixed income development Park Boulevard, of which half was already completed.
Prior to the demolition and relocation process of residents. The CHA used its One Strike department to determine who would be getting Section 8 for relocation. The One Strike department was set up to minimize the amount of tenants who would qualify movement into CHA's newly built homes.
Meaning if you have a government-subsidized lease, whether in public housing or Section 8, you first have to pass a background check and meet stringent standards to get your lease in the first place.
And then, if you or anyone connected with you commits a crime, especially on the property, your lease will be in jeopardy.
That means your kids, whether they are on your lease or not, grown-up or minors, your guests, or anyone “under your control.” It means on the premises, nearby or even off the premises. Someone connect to you gets in trouble, and you will too. I’ll explore the implications of the One Strike rule shortly.
