Blog Action Day – Poverty

October 15, 2008

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:

  1. Homeless – The new development would receive new police patrols and keep the homeless away from the new urban crown jewel.
  2. 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.

Blog Action Day is intended to create a common theme for bloggers, podcasters, and videocasters on a specific day.  Click below for more information.
