[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP instead of asking, "bad or good?" look to understand it. Start with the history of the city: post WWII discriminatory housing policies, redlining, white flight, "urban renewal", and the MLK riots. Anthony Williams was the architect of this town's gentrification. I thought it was interesting in 2017 when the WaPo reported, "During his years as mayor, Williams thought his economic development plan would lift up the poor, not drive them out of the city." [/quote] With work from home, the business districts will die and be returned to cheap residential housing. End of gentrification. [/quote]
