Posted by ntrainride on Thu Sep 10 10:30:37 2015, in response to Re: Someone remind me, what is the point of light rail again?, posted by NIMBYkiller on Wed Sep 9 16:52:40 2015. see, that's very pertinent. what does the city do in this type of situation? spend hundreds of millions of dollars to maintain low income neighborhoods, or seek to eventually attract newer residents with better financial resources at their disposal, increasing the flow of tax and other monies to the city's coffers? and before anyone on here bitches about "keeping the neighborhood as it is", blah blah: my response is, basically, stfu. the Brooklyn experience is telling. country lanes turn into period suburbs turn into German neighborhoods turn into Irish neighborhoods turn into Italian neighborhoods turn into black, Puerto Rican and dominican neighborhoods turn into hipster dufas neighborhoods turn into generic middle and upper class areas. whether you like it or not, this is whats been happening in our town. nobody owns the streets. at best, we borrow them, like library books. ultimately, these streets will fall out of favor and an equivalent cycle will start again. |
