I haven't been able to explain the phenomenon, but there seems to be a coincidence between how "ghetto" a neighborhood is and the number of shopping carts randomly scattered throughout. When I drive through a neighborhood in Rose Park (just outside SLC), I see an astonishing number of shopping carts
for no apparent reason, and the neighborhoods over there aren't exactly great. And just within the last month I've counted 8 of them in my neighborhood, what gives? The rich neighborhoods NEVER get them...
So, like the ideas that stemmed this, the scale is:
5 SCG- really bad
4 SCG- not as bad, but still pretty ghetto
3....2...1..
0 SCG- Beverly Hills 90210 ghetto.

the rich get richer and the poor get shopping carts |

I always used abandoned cars + burnt out buildings as a measure when there are no tracks whose ‘other side’ can be measured against. |

Wow. My local grocery store must be the ghetto of all ghettoes. I'd never noticed it before, but from now on I think I'll do my grocery shopping online. |

Maybe we've been deluded all this time, and the poor actually have more money than the rich---hence the more conspicuous evidence of shopping. But then, the more people buy, the poorer they are, so it'd make sense the other way, too. My head hurts. |
