Gentrification is often seen as a uniformly painful dilemma for socially-conscious liberals: we wish to move into affordable housing, but find it unfortunate yet seemingly unavoidable that poor people are effectively forced out. Thus we become guilt-tripping yuppies, as opposed to just oblivious ones.
I plan on exploring methods and charting experiences, as a 20-something Australian of relatively priveleged background, in my effort to develop a “pro-poor gentrification” working model, whilst living in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC.
For those interested, I maintain a more general catch-all blog: itslateagain, and a personal campaign: mullets for darfur.
