This story sheds light on the growing threat to the historic culture of San Antonio's west side.

San Antonio’s West Side is a geographical location and also a state of mind. Downtown development is moving west and while growth is welcomed, many are worried that unchecked development will force them out of the homes where their families have lived for generations. Efforts are underway to help renovate neighborhoods and keep housing affordable. At the same time, local voices are emerging to preserve San Antonio's cultural history and low-income homes with a message of Mi Barrio No Se Vende: my neighborhood is not for sale.
