Look up articles on what happened to downtown Brooklyn and Barclays center. Black communities getting destroyed to "improve" the area. So something like Fulton Street mall goes from being a black community to just another strip mall of cheap/luxury chain stores and luxury apartments that few who lived there previously can afford.
So you can't really have a positive outcome in your community if developers and the city government decide it's time to displace you in the name of progress. How do you stand on your own in this situation?
