to the woman stating that gentrification is the single biggest issue point breeze faces…I’d say crime is probably issue number 1.
neighborhoods are always changing in this city. Point breeze was originally European Jewish and then Italian Irish, then it became African American, now it’s becoming yuppie/gentrified. Things change, it’s how it is and always will be.
I think the city should put guardrails in place to ensure older residents aren’t priced out of their homes but besides that, you can’t really stop change.
