Selected claim, supporting its parent

As wealthier people move to Leonem, shops and other amenities will increase their prices. As a result, the current residents may no longer afford to live in the area.

Pros

Cons

  • Pro claim 1

    Many of the people in the area are poor and will not have much of a choice of where to move to.

  • Pro claim 2

    Accessing these amenities requires a higher level of income which many residents may not have.

  • Con claim 1, children below

    If residents are forced to sell their homes, they will get a significantly higher price than before as their houses are now in desirable location as a effect of the regeneration.
