• I found This article on gentrification and the connection to neo liberalism and urbanis. The article was interesting because touched on the argument that neoliberalism becomes a regulator of the market which makes capitalism more stronger and more of a social production. As a result urban cities are  growing rapidly and leading to more and more gentrification.  The paper dives into subjects and events in NY during the 90’s as a way to exemplify  sides bout the relationship between neoliberal urbanism and globalization. The social production seems to take a dip as the capitalist production increases when the neo liberalism dissipates and the new  urbanism takes hold. It touched on how global cities are becoming rapidly metropolitan economies of its continents.  It was interesting finding how the housing market played a role in the forward movement  of gentrification. These cities becoming un-urbanized are closely tied to the global capital and cultural circulation. The shifting force of turning an urban area into an area where the investment of capital takes a larger place in the area.  If i were to use this for my paper it could show me the ways in which to better understand and explain the way the US shifted our communities into capitalist pits of money opportunities for the rich.

This article describes the effects of gentrification in the bay area. Specifically in the bay area, people in poverty have been massively hit by the countering effects. The article shows the percentages of how many businesses and residents have been displaced. However, the article was a useful tool, as it guides the reader to a better conclusive result that confronts their questions and concerns about gentrification.

‘The gentrification that has transformed high-poverty neighbourhoods in US cities since the mid 1990s has been characterised by high levels of state reinvestment. Prominent among public-sector interventions has been the demolition of public housing and in some cases multimillion dollar redevelopment efforts. In this paper, the racial dimension of state-supported gentrification in large US cities is examined by looking at the direct and indirect displacement induced by public housing transformation.’

This book is relatable, giving the reader a brief view into what its like to be a victim of gentrification, whether you are the rich person moving into the up and coming neighborhood or the displaced resident. ‘Twins Nikki and Maya Younger always agreed on most things, but as they head into their senior year they react differently to the gentrification of their Portland, Oregon, neighborhood and the new–white–family that moves in after their best friend and her mother are evicted– (Source of description not identified).’
