On the southern coast of Boston, a peninsula known as Columbia Point Juts into the Bay.

It was once the site of a major public housing project of the same name,

a home to thousands of people.

But today, those housing projects are gone. The point has been

gentrified and any trace of the former community has been erased. The change

was slow but dramatic. First a college campus, U-Mass Boston, arrived in the early 70s.

The JFK library came a few years later.

The train station was renamed, from Columbia to JFK-U-Mass.

In the 80s, officials relocated the state archives to the area.

Most recently in 2015, the points saw the dedication of the new Ed Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate.

Members of the Kennedy family, thank you so much for inviting me to speak today.

Obama spoke at the opening.

And pretty much every elected official in Massachusetts.

For some, the story of Columbia Point is one of successful urban development.

Or at least, that's the official story.

A rundown neighborhood being cleaned up through new buildings, new people, and new management.

Where public housing once stood, there are now luxury apartments.

What's a market rate rent?

For a two bedroom, that's all I always give us an example.

The two bedroom, it goes $2,800.

It has gone up higher than that.

I've seen that for $3,300.
