The Roxbury neighborhood of Boston has had a checkered past, as journalist Tim Porter writes, "Using the phrase "urban hell" to describe Roxbury's past is not hyperbole." Among other problems suffered by this blue collar neighborhood were, less recently, race riots and, since then, illegal dumping of trash, drug dealing, arson incidents with unsold homes, and many of the social issues attendant to communities where the average income in below the poverty line.
There were some indications, though, that the neighborhood was beginning to change. The Christian Science Monitor reported in 2004 that the housing shortage and high apartment prices in Boston were beginning to push wealthier residents into the neighborhood. Unfortunately, this influx of people whose income might help revive the neighborhood is serving to drive up property values and apartment prices – and thereby work to remove the current residents of the community. As one individual mentioned in this story noted, when does community investment become displacement or relocation?
Since that article there looks to have been precious little positive news out of Roxbury. A quick scan of crime news related to the Roxbury community indicates there are still issues with criminal mischief and resident safety. This is really a shame since the Roxbury neighborhood has received a lot of attention from local government and nonprofits interested in helping the area turn the corner. Boston is known for its ingenuity, we have documented their use of the Main Streets program and they have a wealth of talent from all their storied universities. It’s amazing that with all that talent and some significant attention Boston still can’t seem to turn this area around.
