Correct. They survived. Just barely though. Having to worry about your next meal or living with no electricity half the time isn't exactly what most people can let happen while they go to school full-time and aren't able to work as much. It's one less mouth to feed, but not all the mouths may have been getting fed in the first place.

And you missed this gem in the article:
Sounds like inner-city corner stores in Baltimore have remained even beyond the demographic shift.

The number of licenses in Baltimore actually shrank in the past 30 years. No new licenses have been issued since 1968, and some have been surrendered since then. While there were 2,200 licenses in 1968, there are 1,500 now, Schroeder said.

I went to college full time, all the while working full time and supporting a family of 5. I did this without government assistance. I grew up poor, lived in a poor neighborhood, and went to public school just like others. Some people take the easy route and some take the hard work route. There is too much help out there to help a person succeed.

I grew up in the 80's and 90's on SSI ($14,00 a year). I never robbed anyone.
The welfare payments/subsidies/assistance of today are at least 3 times that.
