Marcia Jordan has lived in the same two-block radius her whole life.
“It has changed tremendously,” said Marcia Jordan. “Thirty years ago it was a family community. I felt connected. I felt loved. I knew my community.”
Jordan reached out to NewsChannel 5 concerned that part of a new home next door to her on Ireland Street was indeed built on her property.
Her case turned out to truly be a case study of urban gentrification.
Jordan’s home sits in between eight new builds. There used to be just one home on either side of her home.
She said never has a developer offered her enough money to buy another house in the same community.
“They want to give you maybe $400,000, and they build four, and they sell them each for $850,000. So, you’re getting over $3 million, and [I] don’t get enough to even buy me a house in Davidson County?” Jordan said.
Unfortunately, during recent construction of a home, some damage was done to Jordan’s fence, her carport and possibly a window. Jordan also pointed out that a gutter on the new house next-door touches her fence.
