The MJS runs a story today about a couple whose home assessment jumped quite a bit in the past few years. They live in the Brewers' Hill area.
Waaaayyyy down at the bottom of the story is an absolutely chilling quote:
William Hudnut, a former mayor of Indianapolis who is now a senior fellow at the Urban Land Institute, said inner cities throughout the nation are seeing a similar phenomenon.
"Homes that you used to be able to buy for $5,000 or $10,000 are now going for 20 times as much," Hudnut said. "It's a bad thing for the person being forced out, but we need to revive urban neighborhoods."
Remember the line "We had to destroy the city in order to save it."?
