While I don’t agree with much that’s said here, I always appreciate a challenge to the assumptions that people bring to the topic of “gentrification.”
Because, yes, liberals and Left NIMBYS mostly have it wrong…

Hope the tepid “nothing to see here” brigade amongst engaged Seattle voters/workers give this story another look.
The new KC admin doesn’t know what they’re doing and is pathetically disorganized. It’s embarrassing, incredibly expensive and wasteful.

It’s almost as if nothing is well thought out and everything is just for show with this mayor…
I think you can stick a fork in the Bruce Harrell administration. Hopefully, the deputy mayor is shown the door as well…
We can’t out raise the billionaires in Medina funding Harrell’s Super PAC, but we do outnumber them. How many people can donate $25 to the progressive PAC fighting back? Donate and share!

All that is old is new again…
