The poverty class referred to people living in the west part of the city and barely surviving.

It was difficult to jump from one class to a higher one because of the severe stratification. It required not only economic support but also the recognition of the higher class. Thus, the former mayors encountered huge resistance when handling poverty.

Almost everyone in the wealthy class and the middle class was opposed to improving the status of the poverty class and making their lives better.

It was because the poverty class was equivalent to cheap labor.

Improving their quality of life and status would shake the interests of the wealthy class and the middle class-especially the wealthy class.

Other than stratification, another factor that prevented poverty from being properly addressed was the economy and productivity at that time.

Now, economic and productivity growth seemed to be out of the question. Therefore, they should focus on the wealthy class if they wanted to deal with poverty. Even if it hurt their interests, they must make them shut up and obediently accept the change.
