The Admiral 02/21/18 1:12:24 PM #17:	According to this professor, the reason is drumroll RACISM! http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2014/01/city_streets_named_for_martin_luther_king_jr_struggle_across_us.html "Map them and you map a nation within a nation, a place where white America seldom goes and black America can be itself," he wrote. "It is a parallel universe with a different center of gravity and distinctive sensibilities. ... There is no other street like it." But while streets named for King undoubtedly resonate widely in the black community, a University of Tennessee geography professor whose research explores the cultural and political significance of such streets said the compromised condition of streets named for King in St. Louis and other cities deserves broader attention. "In some ways we racially profile these streets," said Derek Alderman, author of a 2007 study that found a smaller disparity among MLK-named streets and other "main streets" than is popularly portrayed. "We need to move beyond those images and see what concrete lives and realities are living on those streets." --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:896500832] in Why do str...

YOUHAVENOHOPE posted... those places were already low-income before the name change usually What does low income have to do with it? well lower income values across an area generally precedes heavy violence and crime rates the idea is that as jobs becomes less available, some turn to crime as a means to survive crime leading to gang activity, and of course gangs have to have territory and you have to defend your turf it's a self perpetuating problem in a lot of ways that needs heavy intervention, partially because things were manufactured this way during the Nixon era and beyond.
