ThePlaceWherethePoorOnceThrived

A)Thisisthelandofopportunity.Ifthatweren'talreadyimpliedbythelandscape—rollinggreenhills,palmtrees,sun-kissedflowers—thenit'sevidentinthemanystoriesofpeoplewhogrewuppoorinthesesleepyneighborhoodsandrosetoenormoussuccess.PeoplelikeTriTran.whofledVietnamonaboatin1986,showedupinSanJosewithnothing,madeittoMIT,andthenfoundedthefood-deliverystart-upMunchery,whichisvaluedat$300million.

B)Indeed,datasuggeststhatthisisoneofthebestplacestogrowuppoorinAmerica.Achildbornintheearly1980sintoalow-incomefamilyinSanJosehada12.9percentchanceofbecomingahighearnerasanadult,accordingtoalandmarkstudyreleasedin2014bytheeconomistRajChettyandhiscolleaguesfromHarvardandBerkeley.Thatnumber—12.9percent—maynotseemremarkable,butitwas:KidsinSanJosewhosefamiliesfellinthebottomquintile(五分位数)ofincomenationallyhadthebestshotinthecountryatreachingthetopquintile.

C)Bycontrast,just4.4percentofpoorkidsinCharlottemoveduptothetop;inDetroitthefigurewas5.5percent.SanJosehadsocialmobilitycomparabletoDenmark'sandCanada'sandhigherthanotherprogressivecitiessuchasBostonandMinneapolis.

D)ThereasonskidsinSanJoseperformedsowellmightseemobvious.Someoftheworld'smostinnovativecompaniesarelocatedhere,providingopportunitiessuchastheoneseizedbya12-year-oldMountainViewresidentnamedSteveJobswhenhecalledWilliamHewlettoaskforsparepartsandsubsequentlyreceivedasummerjob.Thisisacityofimmigrants—38percentofthecity'spopulationtodayisforeign-born—andimmigrantsandtheirchildrenhavehistoricallyexperiencedsignificantupwardmobilityinAmerica.Thecityhaslonghadalargeforeign-bornpopulation(26.5percentin1990),leadingtobroaderdiversity,which,theHarvardandBerkeleyeconomistssay,isagoodpredictorofmobility.

E)Indeed,thestreetsofSanJoseseem,insomeways,toembodythebestofAmerica.It'spossibletodriveinamatterofminutesfromsleek(光亮的)officetowersneartheairportwherepeoplepitchideastoinvestors,tosingle-familyhomeswithorangetreesintheiryards,ortoaVietnamesemall.Thelibrarieshereofferprogramsin17languages,andthereareareasfilledwithsmallbusinessesownedbyVietnameseimmigrants,Mexicanimmigrants,Koreanimmigrants,andFilipinoimmigrants,tonameafew.

F)Butresearchersaren'tsureexactlywhypoorkidsinSanJosedidsowell.Thecityhasalowprevalenceofchildrengrowingupinsingle-parentfamilies,andalowlevelofconcentratedpoverty,bothfactorsthatusuallymeanacityallowsforgoodintergenerationalmobility.ButSanJosealsoperformspoorlyonsomeofthemeasurescorrelatedwithgoodmobility.Itisoneofthemostunequalplacesoutofthe741thattheresearchersmeasured,andithashighdegreesofracialandeconomicsegregation(隔离).Itsschoolsunderperformbasedonhowmuchmoneythereisinthearea,saidBenScuderi,apredoctoralfellowattheEqualityofOpportunityProjectatHarvard,whichusesbigdatatostudyhowtoimproveeconomicopportunitiesforlow-incomechildren.“There'salotgoingonherewhichwedon'ttotallyunderstand,”hesaid.“It'sinteresting,becauseitkindofdefiesourexpectations.”

G)TheChettydatashowsthatneighborhoodsandplacesmatteredforchildrenbornintheSanJoseareaofthe1980s.Whetherthecitystillallowsforupwardmobilityofpoorkidstoday,though,isupfordebate.Someoftheindicatorssuchasincomeinequality,measuredbytheEqualityofOpportunityProjectfortheyear2000,haveonlyworsenedinthepast16years.

H)SomeSanJoseresidentssaythatasinequalityhasgrowninrecentyears,upwardmobilityhasbecomemuchmoredifficulttoachieve.AsSiliconValleyhasbecomehometomoresuccessfulcompanies,thefloodofpeopletotheareahascausedhousingpricestoskyrocket.Bymostmeasures,SanJoseisnolongeraplacewherelow-income,orevenmiddle-incomefamilies,canaffordtolive.RentsinSanJosegrew42.6percentbetween2006and2014,whichwasthelargestincreaseinthecountryduringthattimeperiod.Thecityhasagrowinghomelessnessproblem,whichittriedtoaddressbyshuttingdown“TheJungle,”oneofthelargesthomelessencampments(临时住地)inthenation,in2014.Inequalityisextreme.TheHumanDevelopmentIndex-ameasureoflifeexpectancy,educationandpercapita(人均的)income—givesEastSanJoseascoreof4.85outof10,whilenearbyCupertino,whereApple'sheadquarterssits,receivesa9.26.SanJoseusedtohaveahappymixoffactors—cheaphousing,closenesstoarapidlydevelopingindustry,tightly-knitimmigrantcommunities—thattogetheropenedupthepossibilityofprosperityforevenitspoorestresidents.Butinrecentyears,housingpriceshaveskyrocketed,theregion'srichandpoorhavesegregated,andmiddle-classjobshavedisappeared.Giventhis,thefuturefortheregion'spoordoesn'tlooknearlyasbrightasitoncedid.

I)LeadersinSanJosearedeterminedtomakesurethatthecityregainsitsstatusasaplacewhereevenpoorkidscanaccesstheresourcestosucceed.WithSiliconValleyinitsbackyard,itcertainlyhasthechancetodoso.“IthinkthereisabroadconsciousnessintheValleythatwecandobetterthantoleavethousandsofourneighborsbehindthroughaperiodofextraordinarysuccess,”SanJoseMayorSamLiccardosaid.

J)Butintoday'sAmerica-alandofrisinginequality,increasingsegregation,andstagnating(不增长的)middle-classwages-cantheSanJoseregionreallyonceagainbecomeaplaceofopportunity?
