Document Summary
Revenge of the property owners community development: goetz, sidney. The conflict between low income inner city residents land is at the heart of community. Ideology of property, hostile to affordable housing politics in many there is a tension between use values and exchange values. Nonprofit community development corporations (cdcs) first emerged in the 1960s as urban urban communities attempted to increase control over their neighborhoods. Neighborhood associations and cdcs are separate organizations. In minneapolis and st paul we found that conflict has emerged in some neighborhoods between nonprofit developers and neighborhood organizations over issues of low income housing and community revitalization. Imbued with issues about who benefits and who bears the costs. Neighborhood upgrading has meant increasing land values and improving the socioeconomic status of residents. Neighborhood revitalization promotes the elimination of low cost housing question arises whether there is a workable model of neighborhood revitalization that does not include widespread displacement of poor people.
