It's not perfect rings, though... that's my point. We will probably never see a future when all 235 square miles of Chicago are gentrified and all the suburbs are like a Mad Max zone. There will always be a less-favored quadrant of Chicago, just like there is in Paris, where poverty persists... and there will always be portions of the suburbs that stay wealthy.
