Something that makes me crazy about the gentrification “debate” is the implicit assumption that civic engagement is the realm of non-techies
-
And I put “debate” in quote marks because there is no debate. Nothing is being debated, ever. It’s just a cycle of yelling and crying
And for a bunch of well-paid people secure in their homes, techies have a lot of goddamn tears to shed
-
-
So many tears for people who, if they simply stay put and do nothing, WILL BE COMPLETELY FINE.
-
The burden is on the “protesters” (you mean… everyone else? protesting or not?) to hold techie hands and escort them to town hall meetings?
-
“I will do nothing unless you get your tone right” is just hilariously cruel, when doing nothing = the others will vanish from the city.
-
Your feelings. Your feelings will be safe again soon. Just wait it out. You’ll price them all out soon.
-
Just stop pretending gentrification actually makes you sad. I’ll take an honest Greg Gopman over one of you crybabies any day.
