Though it's easy to bemoan the diminished social diversity and transformation of commercial strips that often signify a gentrifying neighborhood, determining who actually benefits and who suffers from this nebulous process can be much harder. The full story of gentrification is rooted in large-scale social and economic forces as well as in extremely local specifics--in short, it's far more complicated than both its supporters and detractors allow. In Newcomers, journalist Matthew Schuerman explains how a phenomenon that began with good intentions has turned into one of the most vexing social problems of our time. He builds a national story using focused histories of northwest Brooklyn, San Francisco's Mission District, and the onetime site of Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing project, revealing both the commonalities among all three and the place-specific drivers of change. Schuerman argues that gentrification has become a too-easy flashpoint for all kinds of quasi-populist rage and pro-growth boosterism. In Newcomers, he doesn't condemn gentrifiers as a whole, but rather articulates what it is they actually do, showing not only how community development can turn foul, but also instances when a "better" neighborhood truly results from changes that are good. Schuerman draws no easy conclusions, using his keen reportorial eye to create sharp, but fair, portraits of the people caught up in gentrification, the people who cause it, and its effects on the lives of everyone who calls a city home. 505 0 $a Beginnings, 1956-1978 -- The demise of urban renewal -- Back to the city: New York City, 1963-1978 -- Geography is destiny: San Francisco, 1966-1980 -- The Gold Coast and the slum, revisited: Chicago, 1966-1991 -- Reckoning, 1972-2000 -- Cassandras: 1972-1981 -- Adaptive reuse: New York and Chicago, 1975-1997 -- Supply and demand: San Francisco, 1981-2000 -- The rise and fall of rent control -- Conflict, 1992-2018 -- Mixed-income mixed blessings: Chicago, 1992-2014 -- Zero-sum game: San Francisco, 2001-2018 -- 300 Nassau Avenue: New York City, 2004-2016. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $z United States. 650 0 $a Gentrification $z New York. $z New York. 650 0 $a Gentrification $z Chicago. $z Chicago. 650 0 $a Gentrification $z San Francisco. $z San Francisco. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / Urban. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Cities and towns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861748 650 7 $a Gentrification. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940296 651 7 $a California $z San Francisco. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204481 651 7 $a Illinois $z Chicago. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204048 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780226476438 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802022056.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20200118010158.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18FC3DCE2DF711EAB868BF0597128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
