Maybe we are just in an era where the work these people do just isn't worth the cost of an apartment.

I guess it would be best, in that case, to just invest in birth control, food stamps, and education. Keep them happy at a lost price possible so that they don't riot and either wait for them to either die off because they can't afford a kid or start being more productive and join the upper society.

My guess is the lack of proper investment into those things by past generations, especially for poor people in cities, is why we have this issue in the first place.
