Weird people are moving to my neighborhood, rent is going up, and I’m not happy about it! Am I protesting gentrification, or immigration? Am I upset about both, or only one? And why?
In this episode, Erik challenges us to really interrogate: what’s fundamentally different about “gentrification” and “immigration” in terms of their actual effects on residents who have been living in a town or city for the past few generations? Why do our political tribes focus their ire on one and ignore the other?
Qui bono?
No notes this time. Just thoughts. I wanted this to be an experiment in, “do we always need to do a lot of research to understand something better?”
