Gentrification , I'm from Durham and the amount of families in hotels is ridiculous. I know many business that had to close or move because of the steep incline in rent.
MischievousKittie, I'm sure that you don't live in one of those high crime areas you're so cocerned about. Yes, crime exist and still is a problem but so is war and terrorism worldwide. I've lived in big NE cities most of my life. People who don't come from or live in diverse cities often tend to demonize communities and use the fear of crime which is code for large black and brown populations. On the positive side, I'm quite happy with the balance and progress being made in Durham. It's a resilient town with hard working, amazing people.
