One of the most noticeable things about Rock Creek is the extent to which it has been demolished.
During the crash of the steel industry in the 70's, the local housing market dropped so fast that
many homeowners simply walked away from their residences. These vacant, though historic buildings
were then brought down in an effort to reduce crime and blight, leaving the city pockmarked with
empty lots.
Though most of Rock Creek's residents are stuck in poverty, the local neighborhoods still have a
certain charm, not found in the city's more wealthy suburbs
Closer, to the city center, public housing can be seen in both it's high and low rise forms. Built
in the 1950's, these buildings are in disrepair and are nearly to the point of collapse, a point
brought up by those who wish to gentrify downtown Rock Creek. Yet, despite these demands, the housing
remains, largely due to the fierce resistance of its tenants, whose only alternatives are the cold,
potholed, streets of Rock Creek's inner city.
A few block's to east stands Rock Creek's warehouse district, world famous for its production of
tennis shoes and digital cameras.
