Abstract:

Lacour applies the term wedge to the struggles the poor in Mecklenburg County face in finding adequate housing. Related to price and safety are factors such as the widening gap between the rich and poor in cities such as Pineville and Charlotte and dearth of economic mobility for minorities, particularly in Charlotte.
