It was mixed income for the requisite time and is now being converted into market rate condos. <BR/><BR/>It is wonderful that our big cities are being revitalized, however I wish it wasn't at the expense of middle and lower income people who have lived there whole lives in these cities and should be able to continue to live in and make urban life the rich mixture that first attracted me to the city.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, Boston at any rate, is turning into a suburban shopping mall and unfortunately, that is how our new and affluent citizens treat the place.evilganomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867509470546509687noreply@blogger.com
