When rising rents push out the artists, musicians, and makers who gave a neighborhood its character, what's left behind? Hannah Lebovits examines the mechanics of displacement in North Texas, drawing on research into housing policy, community development, and the economic forces reshaping Dallas neighborhoods.
This is a look at gentrification not as abstraction but as lived pattern, told through the lens of someone who studies how cities actually change and who pays the price.
