Obviously, no, we don't need low income neighborhoods, but we do need low income housing. There are two ways to provide this, via subsidies, or via the market. If you don't want a market solution, then you want a non-market one, which in the U.S. framework means public housing and Section 8 in more affluent communities. This is a non-starter locally, so, no. Never going to happen.
No, the thread starter proposed turning Pontiac into Royal Oak. I'm obviously responding to the thread topic, not someone's unstated thoughts. And Pontiac is already semi-decent and blue collar in the northern parts. If you made it more decent, you would make it less affordable, so there's your choice.
