Gentrification creates a stifling homogeneity in urban areas that makes it less suited for the everyday lives of the lower class and more suited towards the leisure and tourism of those with expendable income.
An old, decrepit laundromat gets replaced by an upscale bakery? And people are mad? It’s not that the poor hate organic vegan cupcakes, it’s that most of us don’t have a way to do laundry in our own home.
Run-down corner stores replaced by hand-made designer clothing boutiques? We don’t hate your eco-fabric shawl, but I can’t eat that for dinner after work like I could have a can of beans I grabbed from that corner store when I don’t have time to take the bus to the real grocery store after work.
What gentrification brings in and of itself is not typically bad, it’s that gentrification brings institutions of leisure and pleasure and makes it so that the poor have to go farther out of their way for basic necessities. It turns low-income living spaces into local tourist attractions. It can even create food deserts by putting restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in that the majority of the lower class cannot afford.
Imagine if someone totally renovated your house and turned it into a mini theme park - they took away your sleeping space, where you prepare food, where you clean yourself and get ready for your day, and replaced it with things that will please people who are visiting, who have their own homes they can go back to, who are here not for their entire life but just as a distraction from their otherwise mundane existence. It’s not that you hate theme parks, it’s not like you’ve never been to a theme park and vow to never visit one again. It’s just that you need to live! To survive! And the leisure of those who have more than you should not invalidate your existence.
this is a really great explanation of some of the secondary effects of gentrification and how and why they compound the primary effect. but i have to point out that the primary effect of gentrification is that it drives rent up, and means that people can’t afford to live in their homes anymore. it tears up families and destroys communities.

So imagine a DnD character who's whole motivation is 'X guy killed my parents and I need to find them' and the party just thinks 'ok, revenge quest, that's normal'
But when they finally find the guy the person with dead parents is just like "Hey buddy, long time no see. It's a shame we got separated, here's some money" and they're super chill.
The party is just confused and goes "Wait, why are you giving him gold?"
The guy just goes "Cause I owe him money?"
The party "But he killed your parents???"
"That's why I owe him money!"
This was originally going to be longer but I’ve got a gnarly migraine.. you know for being a guy that hates the number 3 a lot of these comics are 3 pages..
cmyk test pages r like angels to me
do you understand
I made you something OP
mmmm tattoo idea
Nothing has done quite so much damage to my internal vocabulary as the construction #MyNoun. I don't remember if it was from that "tour of my jar, this is my twig #MyTwig" or if it was from "inappropriate attachment to objects, my tuube #MyTuube" but either way it was one of you fuckers on here. I do it every time there's my noun #MyNoun

Wrestlers ar WAIT WHAT THE FUCK
POST CANCELLED. THE GOLF COURSE ACROSS THE STREET BLEW UP
HELLO????
This was on a post about how it's ignorant and privileged to wear headphones in public and I fear its already become a part of my vocabulary. Must everything harbor a moral failure.
@vocabulary-altering-posts this is one for you
I will lock in tomorrow like nobody has ever locked in before
knight who is submissive like a sheep-herding dog. gentle and sweet until something threatens their sworn ward, and then suddenly they're a predator in human skin, blood spattered up the sleek, shiny metal of their armour, plume matted and messy, prowling toward the next target faster than they'd expected, ready to sink bloodied teeth into them for daring to touch who they've sworn to protect. and when all threats are dispatched, they turn to their ward with wagging tail and hopeful eyes behind their visor, waiting for praise for their violence. and surely they'll get it. that's what they're there for, isn't it? shouldn't they be praised for doing their job well?
We got you buddy
When people say "crab bucket mentality" I always think "buckets don't occur in nature" and then things like this.
"Buckets don't occur in nature"
actually goes hard as fuck.

New York City's new mayor is unplugging a disastrous government chatbot that encouraged small business owners to break the law.
And the funniest part?
this framing really winds me up. no knock on mamdani, but a lot of these key changes are the result of a tremendous amount of unsung work by the DWCP and other agencies and lawmakers. he’s not flipping switches that other politicians have refused to touch, he’s arriving at the moment those switches are ready to flip.
there’s just something off about giving all the credit to a charismatic socialist and ignoring the collective work that made these things actually possible, y’know?
This is exactly what bothers me. Changes like this take hundreds of people and thousands of hours of work to pull off. Everyone wants to sneer at the idea that important things take time, effort, and money to implement, and use Mamdani as evidence that everyone who claims it can't be done in 5 minutes with some elbow grease is a scam artist and a liar, but it's flat out not true.
In Mamdani's own speech, he says:
"Under President Biden, the FTC took sweeping action to go after junk fees and they delivered change. Under Chair Leader Khan, they instituted a junk fees rule that they estimated would save Americans 53 million hours a year that they would otherwise spend searching for the true price that they would have to pay, or $11 billion in time savings over a decade. We are going to deliver similar action on behalf of the 8.5 million New Yorkers who call our city home."
Lawmakers and agencies have been working to eliminate junk fees since at LEAST 2023, when Gavin Newsom signed a bill banning junk fees in California. Biden then took up the work with the FTC, targeting hidden fees on live event tickets. Biden went on to work with the CFPB to remove junk fees on banks and credit cards. The CFPB is continuing this work, which you can learn more about over here.
Even with the Chatbot thing -- Mamdani didn't just turn it off. He (and especially his crew) worked up a report to show where funds were being wasted in city government, and then did a presentation on it where he pointed to the specific failure of the Chatbot. He still had to go through a process to prove why he was taking action, it just so happened that this was comparatively quick fix, on account of being one single program running on one single government website.
#stop ignoring the work #it has to get done #there is no loophole #there is no perfect person who can just make things happen #there are only people doing the work #and people continuing the work until it is done (via beezelbubbies)
Yes to all of this.
BUT, and this is important, there has to be a leader who wants to do the damn work and who wants these projects enacted.
Yes hundreds of people worked on these, but you wanna know why these things weren't happening under Mayor Adams? Because he didn't care. So he didn't order them to work on it. Because, and this is important, government employees arent going to work on a project unless ordered to. Especially when they've been assigned to work on something else.
Leadership matters. Anyone claiming otherwise hasn't been paying attention to the world the last few years.
I had a more sustinct version of this in one of my reblog tags, but basically yeah. People can do all the work they want, but when the person holding the reigns of the budget tells them the pound sand, that work comes to nothing but wasted effort. Both the hard effort of people on the ground floor and the coordination and cooperation from the people in power are needed for effective change. If one or the other is missing, we get what we've had the last couple decades: stagnation and regression.
Please for the love of all things good and true in the world, remember this!!! The progress DOES actually take time and budget! Drill it into your head as we go into the midterm election season!!! There are already people in the comments of this very post comparing Mamdani to encumbant Republicans because "he's just breaking things". That's not what is happening here!
Anyone who bleats about socialist Democrats being the same (or worse!) than conservative Republicans is either an idiot or a psyops. Block them, drown them out and remember that progress is a journey made one step at a time.
