[quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster above, and I would add that I think when you have a fresh influx of people with more resources, it helps to challenge the complacency that perhaps has taken root in an area. And I'm not even saying that it's necessarily the fault of the population who already lives there that they have become complacent, but I do think that there are areas where people have come to accept a certain level of crime. When you have an influx of people with more resources, they challenge that, demand more, and usually you see results. Ideally, they could do that without displacing the people who already live there. But I'm not sure how to ensure that they don't displace those people. I think it's at the heart of some of the tension going on in gentrifying areas of D.C. But I don't think anyone would argue that it's bad that crime has gone down in gentrifying areas. [/quote]
