I also think a lot of what's happening is due to transplants and investors who have no real roots to the area and could pick up and move at a moment's notice. It's not involving the families and core residents. In fact, they may be alienated even further.
The city needs an influx of blue collar jobs that most anyone can learn to do if they choose. So far, all I've seen mentioned are tech and finance jobs that are out of reach of city schooled kids.
