More on the "wolf at the door" and those reasonless cries of 'gentrification' in Lake Worth

"You could make the case that poor people are displaced from poor neighborhoods because of their poor schools, their lack of jobs, their more chaotic public spaces, their lack of opportunity."
—Quote from a speech given by Daniel Hertz titled, "When cities change", at Congress for New Urbanism conference on June 14th, 2016.

"First, let’s acknowledge that, for the first time in 50 years, the market is moving in our [New Urbanism's] favor. People (and jobs) are moving to cities. We need to see that as the opportunity to get mixed-income neighborhoods and not fear good, thoughtful development.
     That means we can’t let NIMBYs win the day. The same people who complain about high prices also complain when developers show up to build more supply. We have to make the connection between supply and demand for the protesters and the press."
—Ibid.

How does this apply to the little City of Lake Worth? Simple. Look in the right-hand column of this blog for:
