摘要:

ABSTRACT:Cities throughout the United States are facing an unprecedented number of threats from the professional sport teams they host to build new playing facilities or lose the franchise. The recent moves of NFL teams from Los Angeles, Cleveland, and Houston to St. Louis, Oakland, Baltimore, and Nashville, respectively, have given currency to these threats. To attract or retain a team, cities are offering staggering financial support and rationalize their largesse on economic grounds. Do professional sports increase income and create jobs in amounts that justify the behavior of cities? The evidence detailed in this paper fails to support such a rationale. The primary beneficiaries of subsidies are the owners and players, not the taxpaying public.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:This paper examines the effect of continuing gentrification on household displacement in London. The author analyzes the geography and selectivity of migration. She found that long‐range displacement from gentrifying areas affects progressively higher status households. Migrations over short distances are characteristic of low status households. This bifurcation is exploreed in relation to the integration of structure‐based and agency‐based approaches to the explanation of gentrific

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Widespread concern that extending public transportation to suburban areas will increase crime in those areas threatens the long‐term viability of the transit systems and the metropolitan areas they serve. There has been little systematic research on whether crime increases when new transit service is initiated in suburban areas. This paper presents a preliminary time series analysis of crime incidence in suburban neighborhoods surrounding two rapid rail stations opened in June 1993 in DeKalb County, Georgia. One contains considerable activity, while the other is more uniformly residential. Reported incidents of 12 types of crime were tracked over three and a half years preceding the opening of the rail stations and 18 months after the intervention point. The results suggest some step increases in reported crime when the stations opened. They also suggest the increases were followed by a decreasing crime trend to earlier levels over the next several mont
