See parent. I was here intermittently in the late 90s and have an aunt with a midcentury house off SoCo bought in the early 90s. You may not have seen those communities as having intrinsic value but the people that live there did. And now most of them can't afford to live there anymore because "the market" has decided to make room for gentrification.

Those communities had economic problems, sure. But you're kidding yourself if you don't think the replacements for them have a different sort of economic problem. And just because they're whiter and richer now doesn't make them a better set of problems.
