Comments for Primer on Gentrification in Portland zine, A
It's rough because the economics are stacked against you. I love living in poorer neighborhoods mostly because there are no uptight neighborhood organizations curbing noise & making it harder to drink or do graffiti on the streets. What needs to be done is a separation between the economics & the culture that one is going after. If you can at first agree what kind of a neighborhood you want it to be, then you can begin organizing around making this happen. The economics should come after that initial agreement. Unfortunately, this is rare & most often, because this is America, economics come first. Sean P. Aaberg
