Promises of low and moderate income housing evaporate and luxury housing is all that is available.Homelessness is exploding as it did in the Reagan years, young adults cannot afford to buy houses, and developers and their enablers are making fortunes-helped by the same banks that brought us the depression economics of 2008.
Getting rid of some student debt (Biden agenda) may help young professionals but urban removal of poor people needs something else.
A great irony in Atlanta Metropolitan area is this: In the 1980s and 1990s lower income white families were priced out of Atlanta and fled to the suburban county of Gwinnett. The Olympics in the 1990s was used as an opportunity to justify urban removal of poor people and housing projects in downtown Atlanta. It was opined by one Georgia Tech professional that the poor would be better off in the outer reaches of suburbia where they "could raise chickens."
Well today the outer suburb of Gwinnett county is now the most diverse in Georgia. Since the yuppie gentrifiers never go there they are oblivious to this fact and the fact that they themselves are partners with the developers in urban removal.
