It notes that the addressing of the inequality in class-stratified city such as New York is mainly operated by wealthy and powerful is no easy task and the administration of New York Mayork Bill de Blasio does not have roadmap to follow. It mentions that informing about the reality of poverty may be the first step to addressing inequality.
