    There is an in canon reason Gotham is terrible: its cursed. It doesn’t matter what anyone does, Gotham will always be Gotham.

    Its lame as shit, but the writers clearly don’t want to try to resolve their setting, so they hand waved it all away.

    Batman literally cannot, in any sense, “fix” Gotham, with any effort or amount of money.

          So Batman could help people by building a new city a few hamburger stadiums away & arrange for free transport there?

          Then only owls & masked weirdos would remain.
          Or some of them might get minimum wage jobs in the new BatWay city.
