The Promise

Nashville Public Radio (WPLN) recently launched a podcast entitled The Promise that explores the struggles of the changing community within a housing project. While this particular show may be Nashville specific, I have no doubt that the re-boom of urban areas is inciting this exact same story all over the country. Gentrification is a dirty word largely because of the displacement that occurs to lower income families. There's plenty of high brow conceptual reading to do on the subject but nothing speaks louder than real people's stories. It may be a small sample size but it's indicative of a larger story playing out. Long story short, worth a listen.
