Gentrification in Providence

Development of a high end apartment complex in a low income area would force pre-gentrification people out of the neighborhood.

However, the people in charge of this project are ignoring the consequences and focusing on the 5 million dollars tax break.  The photographer’s work can be found here.  This sign went up in to 2006 protest the mills-to-condo developments in Providence, Rhode Island.
