Abstract:

"Did the NYPD's "broken windows" policing really lead the urban renewal in New York City? Or was it the other way around? Were the leaders or instigators, instead, high-end commercial and residential real estate developers? Or the urban planers who, many years earlier in the late 1970s and 1980s, designated this blighted area for massive development? Could it be that real estate redevelopment reconfigures crime patterns in disorderly neighborhoods, producing crime reduction? In this essay, I explore the latter hypothesis. I suggest that the focus on the police does not do justice to the processual dynamics of how a neighborhood is redeveloped, gentrified, or commercialized. It does not begin to scratch at the dynamic relationship between real estate redevelopment and crime. There are crucial intervening steps. And in the more complete story, the most important players are high-end commercial and residential real estate developers, city urban planners, and non-profit housing advocates for the homeless. The police and their policing are ancillary. In this article, I offer a preliminary snapshot, a rich description of the present condition of L.A's Skid Row. I emphasize that this is an experiment in real time because the changes are occurring as I write, and neither I nor anyone else knows how L.A.'s Skid Row will ultimately evolve, if at all ..."
