A good argument can be, and was, made for studying one or more of the smaller cities of the state. However, these cities were chosen because (1) their central business districts were under study by consulting economists in connection with planning for revitalization, enabling us to draw from consultants' information and to supplement it; and (2) county tax records were well maintained. 8A check of the number of sale transactions in Gr ensboro's nine core blocks from 1950 to 1960
