Asbury Park NJ was supposed to undergo a revitalization as a gay mecca years ago; construction stopped and it all fell apart when the homosexuals realized the blacks weren’t being shipped out on cattle cars - just moved a few blocks inland. Rather than pay all their bills and be subjected to their violence, the gays backed out and Asbury Park is still a dump.
Near here, there is some "revitalization" that had a wrench tossed into it courtesy a socialist city government and the interfering hand of fedgov (HUD): the trendy remodeled "loft" apartments were meant for upscale young professionals (with gay friendliness implied craftily... though unintentionally also comically), but because there was some tax money involved, "X" number of units were mandated Section 8. Did THAT ever make the crony capitalists uncomfortable, as it impacted their income yet they couldn't say a damned thing without being un-PC. So far, the cops and the courts have managed to wallpaper over the troubles, but the shadow inches closer as the months go by.
