Community Resilience

Activists are uncovering the truth behind urban neglect, revealing that rundown neighborhoods often hide well-cared-for homes and strong community ties. Residents fear displacement and seek improvements rather than relocation, while some city planners, like Orton, work covertly to gather eviction data and advocate for these marginalized voices. The struggle highlights a systemic failure that extends beyond individual responsibility, emphasizing the need for empathy and understanding in urban development.
