Shamefully enough, I was googling '"Telegraph Hill" safe' to see whether it was an OK place to live, and I came up with the following
Urban Gentrification
I found it really interesting, and then it was echoed by the piece on Brixton in this month's NI. Question is - what's the solution? It seems to me it's a polemic on capitalism/economic neo-liberalism without much prescriptive guidance. SO and I were talking about it last night and all we could come up with was better real civic investment in communities, both economic and social, with some kind of incentive (secular, preferably?) to social integration within communities. Definitely makes me look at our 'up'n'coming' area in a different light. Especially now I'm to be one of the self-/child-driven parents, and education prospects are something we're thinking very seriously about, to the point where it will probably dictate our long-term residential location. |
