I mean, I have zero doubt that the Enquirer is happy to print that sort of thing, but knowing a fair number of property owners in two out of those three neighborhoods, I gotta tell ya, I'm betting they didn't have to look very hard to find that sentiment. I'm not saying I agree with them, because I don't, but I think you may be overestimating the amount of journalistic fraud the paper would've had to commit to write something like that. Good read regardless, though.B.

Instead, most of that revenue goes to police patrols of Avondale, Price Hill, and the other high crime areas which generate virtually no income for the city. <br /><br />I always wonder what exactly these neighborhoods expect from the city -- More police patrols? In the Tea Party dream world where crime is eliminated by increased police presence, poor neighborhoods would rise in value, yuppies would move in shortly thereafter, and within a decade the poor would be pushed out of their neighborhood.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409712176721627824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535390.post-55796079475896134602012-04-03T10:10:30.486-04:002012-04-03T10:10:30.486-04:00By the way - great blog and I love your coverage o...By the way - great blog and I love your coverage of the city.Ryan Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295648321139399860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535390.post-48722812111358923102012-04-03T10:09:41.331-04:002012-04-03T10:09:41.331-04:00I don't know if I agree.

When I read the articles I did notice the feeling that there is a disparity in how city dollars are being invested, but I felt the stories have highlighted real problems within these neighborhoods. <br /><br />While I agree with you wholeheartedly that the Enquirer is very anti-urban core, I've always viewed it as also being anti-near city suburbs. <br /><br />I mean, Price Hill and Avondale don't get much press from the Enquirer normally, other than the community pages inserts. <br /><br />I think the main takeaway I have in all of this is that the urban core redevelopment is a very good, essential thing for this city, but the city as a whole is still dying and reconfiguring itself. <br /><br />I guess what I'm saying is that I don't see these issues as 'either / or' but rather interconnected pieces about the future of this city.Ryan Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295648321139399860noreply@blogger.com
