Most of the inner city problems had chances to get themselves out and made choices to live that lifestyle, yes. Free public education and government that will pay for your college degree if you choose to pursue it back this up. If you choose to not graduate HS then odds are heavily against you in life and being a productive member of society in the US. In the US you have options no matter to whom and where you were born. In 3rd world countries that is not the case.

I work with inner city kids. Most are very bright and motivated but don't have families at home that are able or willing to help support them. They often don't even believe at first that going to college is even an option for them.
Sometimes it takes more than just having access to things. Everyone still needs a solid foundation and support system. They need someone to show them why certain things are important and how to achieve their goals.
