I guess it's one of those things where you'd not know what would
happen until you tried it. Will it make them want to succeed or
just produce a well fed new batch of criminals?

It's not this way anymore but, at one time in Canada, they made a
point of not putting all the poor people on welfare in the same
area, they would pay more and mix them with middle class people
in the hopes that the often single mothers with children would
grow up looking for something better. I imagine that worked to
some extent but eventually the poor people number so high that
something like that isn't workable..
