Of course, critics claim that its just a masquerade for letting the whites move back in.
Anyway, I still have my guard up when I walk there at night.
This same gentrification is going on is DC. Part of it though is due to the housing boom.
Property tax for a DC rowhouse will run over $6000. These are on less than a quarter acre of land in many cases.
My property tax in under $4000, I have 1/2 acre, and have a decent sized home.
