I enjoyed this. Hope you find the time to update what you want!
I remember someone who went to college in Troy and had rather mean things to say about it. "The armpit of New York," I think the comment was.
I've read about gentrification etc. and always wondered "what is the downside" and it is interesting to find more -- certainly there have been failures in Chicago too where it took a while to admit they had failed so badly they needed to start over. (Some housing projects.)
Oops, late response, but thank you for playing! Troy has an interesting history, going from one of the richest cities in the country to very neglected, but now on a bit of an upswing again. A fascinating book about issues connected to urban renewal, including public housing is The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein--I'm reading it now and it's been really eye-opening.
No problem on the late response--I've definitely let things drop myself!
I haven't even gotten to a couple of your transcripts that I meant to, for stuff I wrote and need to make a post comp version for. But the ones I do have helped immensely. So count this as a blanket thanks for all your support this year!
