The topic that arises from this story about the owners of the New Jersey Devils and Prudential Center (and the Philadelphia 76ers, too) and their plans to revitalize downtown Newark is something I talked about with people when I was there a few weeks ago: Are there cities that just can't be revitalized? Because Newark, despite the arena and other attractions downtown, is still not quite considered comeback material. Same for Camden, where the Sixers are headquartered and which also could use a boost. What would get you to move your home or office to a city that has high levels of crime and homelessness and other woes? And then there's the whole gentrification issue and the problem of where to put those displaced when the hipsters move in.... (Bergen Record)
