This article breaks down the myth that the suburbs are filled with wealth as the numbers of those in poverty in suburbia are skyrocketing. While much of suburbia came from massive white flight, we now face some of the most alarming increases in poverty out in pleasantville.

The main problem with this rate increase in suburbia is an entire lack of resources. The poor were always thought to have been in urban areas and that is where the access was for them to seek assistance. In suburbia, they are extremely limited when it comes to obtaining aid. Guess the Cleaver's are going to have to drive to the city for help.
