At what point did slums/widespread poverty become rare in developed countries?
Post Body
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that even in the recent past, there were major slums and "Hoovervilles" in the big cities of the Western world.
Of course, there are still homeless encampments in many developed countries, but they seem to be the exception rather than the norm. When did these become rare/uncommon?
Information from any city/country would be interesting
