The Death and Life of Great American Cities - Chapter 13

In chapter 13 Jane Jacobs discusses how diversity will inevitably negatively affect a neighborhood. She describes how economic opportunities help create diversity and create these successful neighborhoods and cities. Now with this influx of people there is a lot of competition and less opportunity or each business to succeed. People will then leave in search of the next up and coming neighborhood and better economic stability. This is the natural order of life of cities. They will have times when lots of people move in and there is a diverse thriving community and there will be times when good opportunities are harder to find and people move out of the community.
