Boston's South End Revival Ignores Middle Class

"To walk down the South End's Washington Street Corridor is to step into the story of a changing Boston: Once home to laborers and immigrants, then largely boarded up and abandoned, the corridor is increasingly home to artists and well-dressed professionals living in multistoried condominiums... Thanks in part to large projects by a few well placed developers," the Washington Street Corridor risks becoming exatly what the mayor has long derided: a community reserved for the very rich and the very poor. Housing for the elderly homeless sits directly across the street from $400,000 condos."
