Just as a visual counterpoint to buttress my point, below are street views (yeah, they’re helpful in this case) of the lower Cleveland Heights neighborhood your study cites as declining with a serious increase in impoverished persons:
... with a passion... And to show she doesn't even know what she's talking about, she cites poor, struggling East Cleveland, a suburb, to represent Cleveland to try and bolster her weak point.
I found a very interesting article on Ann Arbor's growth. The article has a great aerial and notable projects that were never built. Seems like Ann Arbor flies under the radar quite a bit.

East Cleveland is just so sad. That last apartment building you show is what I wish we had more of in this city (well designed, aesthetically pleasing, 3 story multifamily homes), it goes around the corner too and is just completely bombed out. The houses across the street look nice though still.
Richmond has two of the Top 6 hospitals in Virginia; a Top 5 university and large higher ed infrastructure; quality suburban school districts on all sides of the city; W&M and UVA, the top two universities in VA, are culturally in Richmond's business and economic structural sphere of influence; urban neighborhoods that rival every city on this thread; all kinds of outdoor rec within the city and metro besides a beach; the strongest museum culture in Virginia by far; affordable COL; and close to a number of other populous cities...
Showing some love to Rich, still one of the more underrated 1-million plus cities that is also flying under the radar in this thread...
Richmond isn't really a city I think of, often. When I do, though, I think of MS-13. It's what I usually see in the news, when Richmond comes up. I'm sure there's a lot more to the city, but from what I read, this is a problem. Out of all cities listed, a couple months ago, I would have chosen Minneapolis. Now, my choice would be Ann Arbor.

That terrace row apartment complex is frustrating, as are many in East Cleveland: extensive with beautiful, classic buff-brick architecture and yet, they will probably face the wrecking ball...
Yes, there recently has been a trend to restore and maintain the strip of attractive old mini-mansions on the north side of Euclid Ave which is promising.

Richmond doesn't have MS13. Those are stories that mostly come out of NOVA but its something people don't typically associate with NOVA so people assume it has to be a Richmond issue.
