For this week\u2019s post, I wanted to write about the community at HOPE Village Revitalization. As I have mentioned before, HVR is a \u2018community development corporation\u2019– it is by the people and for the people. At first, I had a hard time answering the question, \u201cSo, what do you do there?\u201d because it seemed like there were so many things going on at once. Soon, however, I realized that the goals and actions of HVR were constantly shifting and adjusting to the expressed needs of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are over 5,000 residents in the HOPE Village neighborhood, although it seems as though everyone knows everyone. When I meet new people at the farmers market, they always refer to the other people they know there as \u2018my neighbor.\u2019 At the most recent market, I heard my boss recognize multiple people, exclaim \u201cThat\u2019s my neighbor!\u201d and then check in on them and chat for a bit. It is a friendly, supportive, and loving environment. In a promotional interview that our Market Manager did, she described HOPE Village as being \u201cneighborly without being nosey,\u201d which I think is an excellent description and also ties back into How To Kill A City<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As gentrification in a neighborhood increases, so does this \u2018nosiness\u2019 that my coworkers were mentioning– either literally or in the form of involving the police more. At HOPE Village, I have noticed my bosses\/coworkers trying to solve issues on their own rather than call the police, and I see this as being \u2018neighborly.\u2019 However, some people who are newer to the neighborhood are far more likely to call the police instantly, and I see this as being \u2018nosey.\u2019 As a part of our marketing strategy, we sometimes use the social media platform called NextDoor, which links all users in a certain neighborhood and allows them to post about what is happening in their neighborhood. From monitoring this, I have noticed that some users are quick to comment, \u201cCall the police!\u201d and other reactive things, while other users comment, \u201cHave you tried talking to the person?\u201d or \u201cCan you call the Block club?\u201d This solution, the \u2018have you tried solving the problem on your own?\u201d, is a neighborly solution in that it requires communication and helps to avoid the involvement of police in areas that are already over-policed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
