What y'all think? Is this just a ploy for Gentrification?
That train left the tracks when Bishop Arts became popular. Kessler Park area always been white, but now they are pushing south rapidly. Even some small new home communities. Bishop Arts is about to blow up. Train reaches there now and 3 huge developments about to go up. Apartments, retail, townhouses all surrounding the old Bishop Arts. They are talking about much bigger stuff right at I-35E and the riverfront. Notice, every school in the vicinity is a nice new building. No accident there. Rent pressure north of the river is pushing people south and east. as well as people new to the area don't have the same issue with the name. You know its in full effect when you have white women that moved in 10 years ago fighting the gentrification of Bishop Arts and refusing to move, lol. This is happening to my area too. They are renovating or tearing down all the older houses and apartments by the block, or the apartments are being renovated to luxury units. Townhouses and apartments going up everywhere. Neigbhorhood demographics are changing quickly. Strangest thing is, you hardly saw any white children around here, now there are kids everywhere and they are going to neighborhood schools. Maybe I went to grad school 5 years too early. Would love to be studying these changes.
