Heya. I suppose I hadn't thought to expand the meaning to include anything but urban infrastructureintangible and 'physical'. I certainly don't read it to infer a value judgment on the Gentrification issue. I happen to be wearing blue jeans, a brown shirt and matching brown converse (aaand I visited Bedford Ave in the past 24 hours), so I can tell you what side of the issue I am (statistically) on. I suppose there's just something displeasing about saying ""physical restoration"" because there are a few intangiblessuch as expansion of services. If you think it will read like a racial (or something) stab then please, omit it. No other phrase comes to mind without being needlessly wordy, which was, after all, the main sin of that section.
