Also, they rehab places and make the rents so high that people who already live in the neighborhood can't afford to move in. I'm talking about people like me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535390.post-92042249098377539852011-12-03T15:37:53.921-05:002011-12-03T15:37:53.921-05:00I wish I could have developed more housing on Mulb...I wish I could have developed more housing on Mulberry Street in 2003 than the five so far. I bought an 1864 row house there in 1980, and since then over half of the housing units have fallen, burnt, or been torn down. In this Census tract 17, something like 500 of 900 units are VACANT. Is it so noble to have such poverty and decay in an area that holds so much potential for new housing and new residents? Why is it so wrong to integrate the area? Displacement of the poor from a hell hole is nt even an issue with all the vacancies and the availability of Section 8 vouchers joe gorman.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08869099384453342431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535390.post-76780608417920289532011-12-02T15:44:19.687-05:002011-12-02T15:44:19.687-05:00I don't think anyone does.

Most of the housing stock in OTR was abandoned and social services come and go. Just recently United Way opened up on 12th street and another interfaith group moved into vine across from a tavola. We should be encouraging this kind of mixed income integration, not demonizing it.prolix21https://www.blogger.com/profile/17951416788212203059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535390.post-3721597195657232202011-12-01T22:09:21.117-05:002011-12-01T22:09:21.117-05:00If anyone has any good argument against what 3CDC ...If anyone has any good argument against what 3CDC is doing, I would really like to hear it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535390.post-48910953617471553492011-11-30T07:08:07.837-05:002011-11-30T07:08:07.837-05:00If I were a professional Journalist, yes, I should...If I were a professional Journalist, yes, I should disclose where I live, if I live in the area in question.

This sort of income integration is what should be encouraged, rather than discouraged. The "problem" is not when hundreds (or tens) of people from both ends of the income spectrum live side by side. That is the solution.<br /><br />The real problem is when income-segregated growth is promoted: When the disadvantaged have "their side of town", and the privileged have "their side of town".<br /><br />The author of the article needs to either stop concern trolling, or stop carrying water for the gated-community industry.Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653549869610903244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535390.post-60830063803476069052011-11-29T14:23:13.945-05:002011-11-29T14:23:13.945-05:00I'll assume you're right about the mislead...I'll assume you're right about the misleading info...but if we're going for full disclosure, shouldn't you also mention that you live in a 3CDC development in the Gateway Quarter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
