Ok, so parks accelerate gentrification. Should Indianapolis remove all parks?
Not sure how you got to that conclusion. Gentrification implies outside forces (wealthy people) move into neighborhoods and make improvements that price out previous residents. Parks are already in our neighborhoods and prove to add value to the area immediately around them. Meaning people want to live near parks and if anything we should create more parks in our city.
Joseph, you missed the thread entirely. What’s the next step in “people pay more for houses by parks”? Some people are priced out. The current definition of “gentrification” is “a process by which people with money displace poor people from neighborhoods with amenities”.
Those “improvements that price out previous residents” occur via increased values increasing their taxes (or rent), and the parks increasing home values 4 percentage points faster. So they’re an accelerant for those increased housing costs.
I guess I don’t understand the point you are trying to make. Are you being facetious in suggesting that Indy remove parks, or do you really believe they are an issue since they increase property value?
My thought is that since we know people value being close to parks, and they provide value to our neighborhoods, we should expand the park system and make parks easier for more people to get to.
