    De-incarceration means a huge wealth transfer away from rural PA towns--so folks that support it (like me) should expect a fight.

    But flip it around: the presence of the prison and its prisoners has acted like a subsidy for white rural residents for decades. A subsidy paid by populations of color.

    One example: a study found if state closed SCI Frackville, local sewer authority would lose 1/4 of its revenue; local coal plant would lose $700k. "To make up the difference, he said, 'it would have been on the shoulders of the ratepayers, the citizens.'"

    The sheer value of wealth transfer to rural, usually white areas from urban, often AfAm areas, is striking. W/o prisons, utility rates and local taxes would be much higher.

    Very sad to hear of Ira Berlin’s passing. A great historian, and a good man. I always looked forward to seeing and talking with him.

    For comparison, here’s the 1979 edition. Another gem for the cover. But no Tribeca, yet.

    The legacy of the civil rights mvmt, unsurprisingly, is as contentious as ever. Material interests—property values, claims to urban space—remain at the heart of those struggles.

    I spent a bunch of months thinking and writing about a similar story in Zephyrhills, FL.

    Another fight over an MLK street renaming, this time in KC. The battle lines, as usual, are drawn across the hyper-segregated urban landscape.

    Another sector brought low by private equity takeovers. PE loaded (unionized) grocery chains up with debt and stripped assets for profits.
