The Latest Plan to Save Detroit: Build a Gay Neighborhood

The Latest Plan to Save Detroit: Build a Gay Neighborhood | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

Gays and lesbians are known to be drivers of gentrification. They are more likely to want to live in urban cores, which tend to be more tolerant and culturally vibrant than rural areas. And since LGBTQ individuals are still less likely to have children, they are less swayed by the state of local school districts when choosing where to live, a huge factor in cities like Detroit where many families relocate because of the failing public-school system. Research has shown that LGBTQ residents have driven redevelopment in areas of Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C.
