What stands out most to me in these images are the "haves" and the "have nots". There's clearly a difference in investment between black and white neighborhoods. Dirt roads, substandard housing, poorly maintained public ROW, housing located adjacent to industry, etc. are common elements in all of these neighborhoods:
Robinson's Addition
LaVilla
The Eastside
Longbranch
New Town
Brooklyn
On the other hand...
Riverside
A century of this and you can see what many in blighted communities are distrustful of city leadership. With that said, Brooklyn looked like a pretty urban place compared to several of the other neighborhoods shown:
It will really be unfortunate if we can't find a better way to mix old and new in that neighborhood as it redevelops, because it can have a pretty authentic and unique feel.
