NO MORE CONDOS! Woodlawn Community Resists Gentrification

[roughcoat09]

They are Racists!

[8House]

The long time residents of Woodlawn are screwed. The giant broom of gentrification will sweep them out. Who knows where they will end up? Cities are no longer for poor or working people. Just people with means. It's ironic isn't it? First the middle class was swept away and now the poor get their turn.

@8House They usually end up in Suburbs outside the city.

Condos do nothing for the people in the community.

Just for the flow of money in the community.

Ha Williamsburg Brooklyn is the epicenter of gentrification in America. You dont have it that bad woodlawn.

Nothing will stop condos from being built because nothing will stop mayors and governers from wanting to attract a richer crowd who can afford these places. This will surely help bring in money to fund schools hospitals and other resources cities depend on. Other people have been warned of change, and others have ignored it, But time waits for no one.

South side is known for houses. Not coundos.

[WayOutWardell]

New condos of today will become the poorly maintained tenements of tomorrow. The historic cycle of neighborhood boom and collapse will continue until planners, developers and city leaders realize this fact.

The boom that brought hotels and apartment buildings to Woodlawn in the early 1900s turned into overcrowded and ultimately blighted conditions by the 1950s.
