Might be more behind this. Don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but San Jose, years ago, dug up a downtown neighborhood of small businesses, left it dug up for two years. They all folded.
Suddenly the project ended, the streets got rebuilt. Then a developer swooped in and gentrified the neighborhood.
- neveracool 3y agoValencia is already pretty gentrified
- happytiger 3y agoIt’s not yet a single project with residential and exciting ground floor like developers keep proposing… The big money in California is in owning the traffic corridors and the developers who line politicians pockets are forever salivating and mucking with these areas to try to consolidate their holdings. I don’t think gentrification is the operative word here. Mallificatipn? Private equity bundling ready?
