Oh, and by the way, Platinum Partners Realtors: if you’re going to build and sell a three million dollar house, the least you can do is spend a hundred bucks for a writer and editor to clean up your crappy web description and use a basic friggin’  spellchecker. Come ON now!

As of early January, almost 4000 people have visited the website. And you thought we were in a recession! We’re actually slipping back into the Middle Ages, where the poor are a growing multitude, and the rich rule from a place like this. They better build one big-ass moat…

What city do you predict will be hit the hardest by the economic crisis? The cities that were the fastest growing, like Phoenix and Las Vegas, and those most dependent on manufacturing.

Will there be a comeback in Detroit (beyond the auto industry, but in the city itself)? If yes, how?  If no, what will happen to the city then? Detroit can come back if the city finds a way to shrink sensibly and can make what remains less auto-dependent. Detroit, like many cities, must find ways to concentrate and amplify its strengths.

If 2008 was the year of “green” and “sustainability,” 2009 will be the year of…? Real estate vacancies.  Expect retail and commercial vacancies to have greater negative impact on communities than housing vacancies.

What is the story in your city that no one is covering that you think will make the news this year? Suburban development will be hard to fund and risky to undertake. With commercial and residential vacancies on the rise, many suburbs will be hard hit, fueling momentum toward central cities.

Harkins said it may be time to find a different way to do church in the city. Instead of a 400-member congregation that meets once a week, smaller house churches might be more effective, he said. “[The church] should always be open to change. There does need to be some reckoning with the fact that middle-class folk who aren’t coming back in on Sunday isn’t a negative thing. It’s just a reality.”
The outward-moving trend will likely continue, Emerson said. “In poor neighborhoods in Houston, there are no grocery stores, no chain restaurants, no doctors, no lawyers, and very small, poor churches.” Those areas will not survive, and as investors buy the land up for gentrification, current residents will be pushed out toward the inner ring of suburbs and, hopefully, back into the sphere of churches. Then, he said, the process of segregation by race and class will begin again.
Pastor Wilkins said he does not begrudge those churches that get the chance to move into a better building in a safer environment, away from city centers. But he still needs their presence and their partnerships.
The church should be on the frontlines, fighting for better-quality education and intact black families, Wilkins said. “When we abandon our post, the Enemy will come through. The church is the wall of the city. If there is no wall, there the Enemy will come right through.”
