Just curious about something I have thought about, but what are some neighborhoods in the city that if they were in a bigger city or if the city of Syracuse had more people, would be gentrified or revitalized at a higher rate?
I've always thought Little Italy and the Hawley Green area were prime for gentrification.
Yes, both are a couple that come to mind due to having some investment, but they could definitely see even more investment and revitalization.
Another area I'll throw out there is the Park Avenue area behind Automobile Row(West Genesee Street) and north of Erie Boulevard West.
I also thought about Elmwood around Glenwood/Valley Drive/South Ave and the portion of the Valley between the Valley Plaza and Seneca Turnpike. Both have the bones and some businesses currently in those areas, but have room for more. Perhaps the area of West Onondaga to South Ave through to about Bellevue Ave near the future ShopRite grocery store.

Given that it is located just outside of Downtown to the SW and that there are lots that could be developed or structures that could be used again for housing/businesses, it could be an area of new, mixed use, mixed income development that the mayor is looking for.

Given its very close proximity to Downtown and room for improvement in the highlighted area, as well as potential for commercial development in this area of North Geddes Street: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0507...6!9m2!1b1!2i38 within the highlighted area, it could be another area for a mixed development and income area of the city.

Then, a couple of blocks south, the building on the right could be used for housing for mixed use for families, artists associated with the organization/facility above and for those looking to hone their craft as entrepreneurs at this facility across the street: South Side Innovation Center

East Fayette Street is another street that comes to mind. It has seen or is seeing some development in recent years, but again has lots and older structures that could be put to use. It is very close to Downtown and University Hill and runs perpendicular to the East Genesee Street Business District/Corridor: http://university-hill.com/wp-conten...-Brochure4.pdf
This historic church on the left, the former People's AME Zion Church, has plans for a culinary school, but could also be used in a capacity similar to this church in Ontario: Nazrey AME Church | Ontario Museums
It also could be used for other functions such as a place for young children in the community to learn about STEM opportunities via mentorship with those from Upstate Medical Center and connected with the nearby Community Folk Art center. The STEM aspect comes to mind given that this woman's father was the pastor of that church at one time and her profession, as well as being a graduate of what is now that medical center: Fraser, Sarah Loguen (1850-1933) | The Black Past: Remembered and Reclaimed The family's home was located at this corner: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0470...6!9m2!1b1!2i38 and given that the home isn't there, the former church could serve as a historical location that honors the family and the history in the neighborhood. Her father: Loguen, Jermain Wesley (1813-1872) | The Black Past: Remembered and Reclaimed
If you go further down the street, you will notice that it has great potential for infill, especially given the nearby apartments that have been or are being built for students. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0484...7i13312!8i6656
That will allow for activity, as well as commercial investment in that area of the city, that would serve students and long time residents of the neighborhood.

Also, development on South Geddes Street would serve an area where the city's Hispanic/Latino community is concentrated, but is also a very culturally diverse area still.
In turn, you may see more development in this area that had development initiated via Syracuse University's Near Westside Initiative/SALT District. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SALT_District
Also, that area is situated in between Downtown and the Tipperary Hill neighborhood, which is known for its pub/restaurants, Burnet Park(inc. the Rosamond Gifford Zoo) and Irish population. West Fayette Street links all 3 together.
