What do you think about this approach to fighting crime and blight? Are there any other local groups doing this?

if you pave the town over with an interchange there won't be anymore blight.

Won't the causes for the blight simply move into other areas?

Not if you pave before they can go anywhere. Like Hoffa in the Meadowlands.

Paving = New concrete
New concrete = new interchange
New interchange = convenient acces
Convenient access = new office construction, hopefully
New office construction = cost of homes on the rise (ie Conshy)
Cose of homes on the rise = renewed interest in area (ie Conshy)
Renewed interest in area = decrease in blight, hopefully

you and your conshy. you missed the point. if we pave over bristol not only will we have more road but the blight will be pavement. no home values rising as there will no longer be a bristol.
plus conshy is in the western subrubs which have been thriving as well. much of the area's job growth has been out in the western burbs and no, it's not because of 476. it's b/c of lower taxes. these road are, other than the blue route. are afterthoughts. the whole 202 interchagne is at least 10years past due. still, more lanes means mroe traffic. and people aren;t moving south for the highways.

Oh this is rich. I actually, gulp, live in Bristol right now. I do think it's goddawful...but, and I wouldn't readily admit this, but it does have its good parts. For instance, the water front is sweet. Very nice. I'm in the Borough, and I feel 100% safe. Next door neighbors have lived here all their lives and said it's the best it's ever been now and I shouldn't worry about theft, etc. Additionally, I've got a great Italian place that delivers late right around the corner, and a small mom and pop movie rental down the street. Not to mention the people get to know you places (probably because in a suit and foreign car I stick out like a sore thumb but still...).

That said, I say I live in Lower Bucks for a reason. Not that the surrounding areas are better, but still. If one wasn't familiar with Bucks, they could think I meant Yardley or Doylestown...

But alas, Tuesday I'll be in Fishtown.

bw, enjoy the move! Hope the weather cooperates.
