Additionally, what all this construction is doing is apparently fueling gentrification which is displacing poor people as the cost of living in E. Palo Alto rises (because it is becoming a more desirable place to live)--so even though the statistics may show that there is less poverty in E. Palo Alto today--this does not mean that poor people have benefited from the rebuilding--just that they have been displaced. blogs.kqed.org Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding..................whenever a community or neighborhood in the affluent Bay Area starts to improve, capitalists swarm like flies. Poor neighborhood after poor neighborhood has disappeared in SF because of this phenomenon. Its why SF is now the richest big city in the country...........btw SF has started to grow again and is the largest its ever been. You can rehabilitate a community or a city by rehabilitating the built environment but you don't rehabilitate people that way. That's why I keep pushing education, job training......even drug/alcohol rehab. That's what makes people better and gives them an alternative to crime and welfare and drugs.
