Poverty and The Banks Project. Only time will be able to explain the relationship between these two. I would hope that a major urban development project has taken the fact of urban poverty into account. Here’s my best guess of the developers hopes:
- Homeless – The new development would receive new police patrols and keep the homeless away from the new urban crown jewel.
- Working poor? I don’t believe there has been resolution of whether there will be Section 8 housing in the hundreds of apartment units planned for The Banks Project.
Poverty is a part of our city and I sincerely hope that all demographics of our great city will be included in the new heart of the city.
