I have to agree with OTL here, while there are some people who try and get out of poverty, many don't make the effort, and many are too fargone to do so. My neighbourhood is similar to the North End in almost every way.

It can be alleviated to a degree, but the problem will always exist. The priority should be to help those who want help and fight back against crime. High concentrations of low income people are always going to be magnets for crime and poverty, and every city, especially those in this part of the country, are always going to have neighbourhoods like that.
