I didn’t think Ferndale was all that shabby when I was there.

Most of Ferndale is quite nice.

Hazel Park (to the immediate east) - completely different story!

The LGBT community resurrected Ferndale in the 90s. One could easily argue that they would have sunk to level of Royal Oak Township or Oak Park without our community coming in.

Hazel Park has changed big time. It’s not Hazel Park of the 90s where its race track was the main draw. Mabel Gray’s is amazing, and the downtown area is very nice now. Home values have doubled. Again, our community resurrected it as well.

There have been multiple studies that show when an LGBT contingent moves in, home values increase.

I could see this, as the “LGBT” districts seem to be the gentrified parts of urban areas. However, can you share some links to these studies? I’d be curious to see the real-life examples.

I am too. Where are these studies? Or is this just bullshit?

Thanks for these links. The Newsweek article really caught my eye by mentioning the Riverside neighborhood of Cleveland, as I was not expecting that neighborhood to be the one mentioned. The Ohio City, Tremont, and Coventry neighborhoods seemed more LGBT friendly.

I don’t subscribe to the Atlantic, so I wonder which Ohio neighborhoods were in the neighborhoods that lost value.

I ran it through the internet archive and figured out it’s just a blurb about a study. Here is the study:

Originally from the Journal of Urban Economics… keep in mind this is 2012 studying the 2000 census.

I could not find the study verbatim. So, I appreciate that.
