poor door
A 'poor door' is a separate entrance in a housing development for those living in less expensive apartments. The term was coined by the local news site West Side Rag in August, 2013, where it was used to describe a new development on the Upper West Side of Manhattan that had separate entrances for market-rate and affordable-housing tenants. 〔West Side Rag: (New UWS Development Could Have Separate Entrance For Poorer People | News | West Side Rag ), accessdate: 02/02/2015〕
The practice, which may also include refuse, postal and parking facilities,〔 has been criticized for segregating the rich from the poor. Oliver Wainwright, writing in ''The Guardian'' in July 2014, presented a more nuanced view however, commenting that such attempts at segregation are not new, and that there would not be the same outrage if the housing was in separate buildings, nor would social housing tenants wish to pay the high service charges needed to provide the luxurious facilities sought by wealthier tenants. He quoted Michael Edwards, senior lecturer at the Bartlett school of planning at University College London, who said: "they (doors ) are a symptom, not the problem".〔theguardian.com: ('Poor doors': not the worst thing about social housing | Art and design | theguardian.com ), accessdate: 23/08/2014〕
==London==
A 2014 investigation by ''The Guardian'' noted a growing trend in London to have a separate entrance in new housing developments. Legislation requires that new blocks in many locations must include an element of "affordable housing" if they are to gain planning permission, and it has become more common for such developments to include a separate entrance for those tenants, nicknamed a "poor door".〔The Guardian: (Poor doors: the segregation of London's inner-city flat dwellers | Society | The Guardian ), accessdate: 23/08/2014〕
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has ruled out a ban on "poor doors", but will "discourage their use whenever possible".〔The Guardian: (Boris Johnson rules out 'poor door' ban on London housing developments | Society | The Guardian ), accessdate: 23/08/2014〕
