Abstract:
Durham will evict approximately 200 low-income residents from their Lincoln Apartment homes. The property owner can no longer afford the utilities and upkeep. None of the city’s recent initiatives will immediately help them. The city has a waiting list for affordable housing, Section 8 housing is closed, and funding is scarce. The budget includes plans for expanding affordable housing over the next five years, but it won’t help those Lincoln Apartment residents now.

Abstract:
Abandoned homes, such as 212 E. Geer St. in Durham, are primarily situated in low-income, minority neighborhoods where lending banks aren’t likely to pay for upkeep. This often leads to a crime problem as squatters, prostitutes, and drug dealers use the property for illegal purposes. This affects the neighborhood community as property values decrease and crime increases as banks let the houses fall apart. In Durham, some community groups are acting to try to renovate houses and make the neighbors a safer place.

The need for affordable housing often conflicts with the desire of neighborhoods to control the residents who live there. This problem is growing in Raleigh, and many feel they are being forced out of neighborhoods in the city because they are not like their wealthy, white neighbors. Landlords who rent houses and their tenants are frequently targeted in neighborhood groups. Both sides speak out about the growing problem.

Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing the push for lifting the ban on the construction of accessory dwelling units, backyard cottages, in Raleigh. Residents of Raleigh are lobbying to lift the ban on accessory dwelling units so that they can rent their houses out, more affordable housing, having elderly family members live close by, college housing, and places where additional family members can live. City officials and other residents argue that it can cause the neighborhoods to become crowded, increased light pollution, rowdy residents, and that the ADU’s might not match the surrounding homes.
