An area marked by poverty and worn-out housing. (Fullilove, 2004) To some, “they menace the health and security of the whole community.” (Saylor, 1952) Jane Jacobs referred totwo kinds of poor neighborhoods: perpetual slums and I slumming neighborhoods. They may look the same initially but are on different trajectories due to the actions of area residents. A slum would endure if residents left as quickly as they could. A neighborhood could transform itself if people wanted tostay. It is the investment of the, money, and lovethat makes the difference. (Fullilove, 2004)
