[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]in Baltimore gentrification could proceed without displacement, due to lots of vacant land and buildings. But it seems that in recent years most gentrification has focused on formerly working class white areas such as Locust Point, Hampden, Brewers Hill, etc. It seems to have stalled out in african american areas,like Hollins Market, near Charles Village, west of Patterson Park, etc. Has Baltimore exhausted the supply of easily transformable areas? Is there sufficient demand to transform the harder areas?[/quote] You do realize that all that vacant land exists because (poor, black) people already were displaced.[/quote] huh? No they moved on because the buildings weren't maintained or they didn't have the money to maintain. Or they moved because schools were bad or crime too high. [/quote]
