being a broke outsider in the city, it has been very difficult to exercise my rights especially in terms of housing.
from my limited experience it seems that while in richer neighbourhoods there might be some diversity, it is not the case everywhere. there has been a move to grow the city outwards and move newer social housing further out. but the historically poorer neighbourhoods more or less seem to remain in their older state.
however you rationalize it, one ends up questioning whether it is worth living in the city given the challenges in finding a place.
