It’s sad when industries die.The cure today seems to be bring in the rich people,build condos,build lil mansions for them.The rich people will creat jobs for the locals and we’ll even creat a
urban renewal corp.to get alot of the building started.But, in the end the middle class gets screwed,because they can’t afford the Real Estate anymore and they have been unceremoniously,
gentrified.
