Here's my hypothesis: if you pay somebody to move up and down a commercial street for a couple of years, asking people if they've got any problems or complaints -- after a while, the total number of complaint reports on that street will start to rise. Yuppies, minorities, Martians, makes no difference.

And here's another hypothesis. If a neighborhood changes demographically, and the incoming population has different tastes than the original population, then neighborhood businesses that cater to the old-timers will see a drop in customers. That means a drop in income.

But that's life in the big city.
and here's yet another hypothesis:
changes in a residential neighborhood or business corridor can happen without dependency on the $$$ and intervention of penn/ucd. like life in the big city.
tony, would you care to design the experiment to test that hypothesis? you've already got a control group, the rest should be easy.
so many hypotheses... so little time...
