What are your thoughts on gentrification.
I live in South Bend, Indiana. It was and still is a run down town with an alarming crime rate. But over the past 8 years we have had a “ renaissance” you would say.
We have tore down a number of low income neighborhoods to put up new fancy and nice looking condos and shops. However nobody here can afford them so they’re just sitting there vacant.
This process has displaced a number of families who are in the lower class all for the sake of progress.
To me it’s putting lipsticks on a pig and has caused more bad than good for people here and caters to a group of people who don’t exist here.
