The Brookings Institude released a study showing poverty among those living in suburban communities rose 3 million more than the cities. To make matters worse, the concentrated solutions that work in the cities cannot be created in spread out communities in the suburbs. Furthermore, there are quite a number of the poor living in the surburbs who do not own cars.

<<<The suburbs, however, are ill-equipped to deal with this burgeoning poor population, Kneebone said. There aren't as many social services agencies and they are often spread far and wide, making it difficult for those without cars to access.<<

The autors of Confronting Suburban Poverty in America state we need more public trasporation option that reach into the burbs. That's really the solution if the poor had access to buses or trains, they could take advantage of essential services.

>>>> As the authors explain in Confronting Suburban Poverty in America, it raises a number of daunting challenges, such as the need for more (and better) transportation options, services, and financial resources<<<
