Rebuilding Westhaven Charlottesville’s public housing is falling apart. Can gentrification save it? Our leaders love to trumpet Charlottesville’s progressive spirit and the world-class quality of its city life. The sales pitch rings hollow in Westhaven, though, where ambitious plans for “urban renewal” have literally fallen apart. Now the Housing Authority hopes to overcome 20 years of neglect with a new version of urban renewal. But can yuppies really save the ghetto? By John BorgmeyerC-Ville Weekly04-05-2005 “This place is a ghetto” This winter, Annie Brown and Mary Faulkner kept their ovens open all winter. The two grandmothers weren’t baking cookies…they were just trying to keep warm. ???Brown and Faulkner live in Westhaven, one of the City’s seven public housing sites. Like many other public housing residents, they spent most of the recent winter without heat. ???“If you leave the oven on long enough, it heats up the room O.K.,” says Brown. She says she called the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority, which manages the City’s public housing, asking them to come and fix her heat. ???“They didn’t even come and check the heating,” Brown says. “They told me not to burn the oven. I asked them what was I supposed to do in the cold?” ???Faulkner, too, says she called the Housing Authority for help—sometimes once a week—to no avail. ???“We’re paying them our money, and we’re living in the cold,” says Faulkner. “They don’t have any maintenance. That’s their excuse,” she says. ???Recently the Housing Authority spent about $100,000 replacing the antiquated boilers in some Westhaven apartments. The women say they now have heat—just in time for spring. ???On the other side of Hardy Drive, Westhaven’s main thoroughfare, Wayne Arabie says that between January and mid-March, he had no hot water in the apartment he shares with his wife and four children. ???“We had to go across the street to my sister-in-law’s to take showers,” he says. Arabie says
