2)Yes fact of life but if they want to improve their area they may need to stay and build up the area from the inside. Make the improvement "organic"
3)Again true but ideally it should happen more slowly and allow the current residents to also build up. The problems really happen when the richer buy don't really move in. Either they buy to rent/holiday home or they use as dorm but spend outside the area.
4)Yup, there are those who do very nicely from poverty. And this is where it can really butt up to the BLM debate. It's unfortunately true that many of these are black and so are their victims (who may have to work for them). If that's true it means the police intelligence will show this and likely target black people because there is a higher chance of a "successful" stop.

1) Unless the "poor" cars are that dilapidated, it's unlikely to make much of a difference. If they're that poor they won't have cars to be visible in the first place.
2) The enhanced job opportunities are unlikely to be in that area. Why shouldn't they want to move?
3) The 2nd/holiday home argument is a bit of nonsense. When have the "poor" ever been able to buy properties there? Why should being "poor" give them the automatic right to live there, buy up the properties and then sell them on for a profit, and you're back to square one. The wages and job opportunities are said to be that bad, that no matter what, they couldn't afford to buy a property.
4) If an identifiable group has a higher chance of finding something, then that is exactly the reason they SHOULD be stopped. Eg Several years ago at the Notting Hill Carnival, a group of police decided NOT to search somebody, another group of police weren't so fussy and searched them, finding a gun in the process. Little point stopping little old ladies on the street.
Then again if little old ladies on the street were found to be involved in crime, then they too would be stopped.
