I remember the restaurant that used to be here. It was an Afro-Mexican spot. Delicious. They had to vacate when the rent went up.pic.twitter.com/pZtehEAbRD
Protestors will be at Weird Wave, at 2415 Chávez in Boyle Heights, tomorrow at 8a. Neighborhood women will be giving away free coffee.pic.twitter.com/pPsQjDOMBQ
A counter protester was briefly across the street and left his sign on the street. A passerby picked it up and ripped it in half.pic.twitter.com/63kbT1lO2L
It's 90° out and protestors are standing under the burning sun. Clearly dedicated in their action against Weird Wave Coffee.
Protestors come and go, but always a steady group. So do police cars; they've driven by twice in half and hour.... sometimes buzz the siren.
An ongoing tactic against gentrification in Boyle Heights. A community that really looks nothing like Weird Wave. Here's a mural steps away.pic.twitter.com/tEiEILtkgg
They do realize with rich people they bring money woth them right ? ... money to spend on their communities
I'm not sure you understand how gentrification works. That kind of money displaces people/communities. Rents raised, communities changed
Bruh gentrification is he process of renovating and IMPROVING a house or district so that it conforms to middle class taste
Kicking out ppl who can't afford it. Community's "improved" by replacing poor ppl with richer ppl.
"Improved"
Quirky coffee shop showing up is a sure sign of gentrification.
Get a job
So they are complaning about bettering the community ?
