I don't think it has as much to do with people not wanting people coming into their neighborhoods as it has to do with there not being AFFORDABLE housing in most neighborhoods. How can people pay for a decent apartment on SSI (which is about $500 a month in NYC)? And even for those that do end up getting a job, most likely it is not at a skilled job and they are only making minimum wage which does not cut it when it comes to paying for the basic necesities of everyday life.
