The term gentrification has become a buzzword to describe the changes in urban neighborhoods across the country, but we don't realize just how threatening it is. It means more than the arrival of trendy shops, much-maligned hipsters, and expensive lattes. The very future of American cities as vibrant, equitable spaces hangs in the balance.
Peter Moskowitz's How to Kill a City takes readers from the kitchen tables of hurting families who can no longer afford their homes to the corporate boardrooms and political backrooms where destructive housing policies are devised. Along the way, Moskowitz uncovers the massive, systemic forces behind gentrification in New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, and New York. The deceptively simple question of who can and cannot afford to pay the rent goes to the heart of America's crises of race and inequality. In the fight for economic opportunity and racial justice, nothing could be more important than housing.
A vigorous, hard-hitting expose, How to Kill a City reveals who holds power in our cities-and how we can get it back
从去新奥尔良的路上开始读,在纽约的新年前夕读完。对美国城市规划城市政策都有了更实在的了解,可惜书中还是没有提出更有效的解决办法。生活在罗岛工作在soho,明显体会到自己既是gentrifier也被gentrified。
评分感觉蛮矛盾的 因为自己就是一个外来者就是一个gentrifier 但又很能理解那些locals 。就连bishop town也是 在bagel shop等餐的时候就发现两个世界的clash特别明显 那些在这儿养老的人们一定很讨厌和他们抢桌子排队的hipster climbers aka ppl like me. 然后又有新开的特别posh的咖啡店和这个小镇就特别格格不入 就像我一样。蛮informative的 读了以后就不太想visit new orleans 因为觉得那样自己就是在为gentrification做贡献。不过去哪儿不是呢。
