It's spammy.

Because it is the duty of parents to support their children, and this is desirable for the purposes of a stable society, and the purpise of law is to protect the stability of society?

I've had friends that did that. It's not something I would do; feels too much like "poverty tourism".

Completely different? Where do you think the word "ghetto" comes from?

That aside, OP specified American cities.

The whole idea of "the bad part of town" is inextricable from racism in the US, since most of these "bad parts" were created intentionally through practices like redlining, ghettofication, and white flight. I'd say "crack a history book" but this isn't even history yet, it's still ongoing.

There are three.

One plays "Brave Bells of Scotland" with the word "HELLO-O" yelled by a distorted female voice every so often.

One plays chiptune Christmas Carols all year round.

One plays a medley of old songs heavily featuring "Turkey in the Straw".

I got a lot of help from HUD and FHA when I bought my house. I couldn't have afforded to buy and renovate my home when I did without that program, which is only for first-time buyers. The program also helps housing supply by renovating unfit older buildings into usable housing stock.

So, at least in the US in general and Chicago specifically, gov't is doing things to help first-time buyers.
