Week 1

East Austin used to be a low-income area with majority minorities living their. With property taxes rising, their had been an increase of low income families moving out of the area. After interviewing, their has been good and bad opinions about the East Austin are. It was not liked that people had to move out of their homes or be forced to pay higher taxes because of the rise of construction. With the low-income families leaving, it also started to decrease the crime rate. It is good that the community is improving, but you have to also think about those minorities who left and how they can live better lives.
