IS Westin Heights/ Bankhead Risising Up or Drownig in the Creek?









IS  Westin Heights/ Bankhead Risising Up  or Drownig in the Creek?



Will the disparity gap, the racial divide and the prevalence of social injustice, diminish and vanish with the changing Westside neighborhoods?  Will long-suffering indigenous  residents, families and children who stayed, but because they chose to stay, they greatly suffered from the ill effects of poor schools, environmental injustices of illegal dumping, pollution of the earth, the water and the air. Unbridled drug-trafficking, and other social and economic disparities, were permitted to flourish and eviscerate the neighborhoods causing once beautiful, thriving neighborhoods to look like disaster zones?  As the PHOENIX again rises from the embers of its ashes and takes flight, will economics, class and racial identity be determinants of the residents and stakeholders of the NEW Westside neighborhoods?  What does the future hold for us, for our  children and for our children's children?  Will we, and our progeny, enjoy the prosperity that is envisioned for the NEW WESTSIDE?
