Changing Corktown

As I am reading the Detroit Free Press, I run across an article about the changing face of the Corktown neighborhood in Detroit. With Ford's purchase of the former Michigan Central Station in 2018, and many people, restaurants, and businesses moving into the neighborhood, making it somewhat gentrified in the process, many longtime residents wonder what would become of the neighborhood they knew. Many people wondered if their taxes and utility bills would rise over time, forcing them to move out in the future. There are many homeless and transient people in the area, and one article mentions the soup kitchen at the Episcopal church, which many of the newer residents in the neighborhood wanted shut down to avoid seeing people without homes near them. I feel that the city can at least help people already living in Corktown before all the progress began to work something out so they can stay in their homes, and work on a program for the homeless and transient population, so that they may be able to get food, shelter  and assistance when they need it. Also, the newer residents can also can learn more about their new neighborhood by speaking with their new neighbors  who have been living there a while.
