SoHa, NoBat, NoCal, BoHo, GoCaGa. In NYC, the lines that deliniate one neighborhood from another can be blurry, and it gets even more confusing when 'neighborhood re-brandings' occur. So, why do neighborhoods get re-named or subdivided, and how do these changes relate to things like gentrification, politics and the real estate industry? Greg Young, co-host of The Bowery Boys podcast talks about the history and impact of neighborhood re-brandings. Plus, listeners call in to talk about what it means to them to belong to a neighborhood of a certain name.

BrownTown chops it up with Kiara Hardin and Infiniti Gant, multifaceted organizers with the Obama Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) coalition. Ten years since the announcement of the Obama Presidential Center (OPC) on Chicago's South Side and five years since the passing of the Woodlawn Ordinance that ensured housing protections for some residents, the coalition has continued to organize to ensure affordable housing for more area residents, including and specifically South Shore. The gang compares and contrasts the political moment and opportunities from summer 2020, in the midst of the uprisings, to fall 2025 under a Brandon Johnson Mayoral Administration with a backdrop of a fascist takeover on the federal level. They end with a discussion on the interpersonal nature of community organizing at its root in relation to de-pedestalizing politicians in order to circumvent power to the people because when we fight, we win! Originally recorded September 10, 2025. GUESTSKiara Hardin is a dynamic project manager and organizational strategist with a passion for creative, collaborative solutions that center the needs and priorities of the Black community. With a strong focus on capacity-building, Kiara partners with Black-led and Black-focused organizations to create anti-authoritarian systems that fortify organizational infrastructure and promote sustainable growth. Her work, driven by a commitment to social equity, particularly addresses the social determinants of health. A dedicated community organizer, Kiara played a key role in the organizing efforts behind the South Shore Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) ordinance, working alongside local residents to fight for equitable development and protect long-standing Black communities from displacement. Through this campaign, she is helping build grassroots power, elevate community voice, and ensure that public policy reflects the lived experiences and demands of South Shore residents. Follow Kiara on Instagram and Linkedin.Infiniti is an incredibly motivated, astute, and empathetic community organizer with the willingness to push beyond previous experiences to contribute innovative ideas and creations.

From award-winning writer Sarah Schulman, a longtime social activist and outspoken critic of the Israeli war on Gaza, comes The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity (Penguin, 2025). This book is a brilliant examination of the inherent psychological and social challenges to solidarity movements, and what that means for the future For those who seek to combat injustice, solidarity with the oppressed is one of the highest ideals, yet it does not come without complication. In this searing yet uplifting book, award-winning writer and cultural critic Sarah Schulman delves into the intricate and often misunderstood concept of solidarity to provide a new vision for what it means to engage in this work—and why it matters. To grapple with solidarity, Schulman writes, we must recognize its inherent fantasies. Those being oppressed dream of relief, that a bystander will intervene though it may not seem to be in their immediate interest to do so, and that the oppressor will be called out and punished. Those standing in solidarity with the oppressed are occluded by a different fantasy: that their intervention is effective, that it will not cost them, and that they will be rewarded with friendship and thanks. Neither is always the case, and yet in order to realize our full potential as human beings in relation with others, we must continue to pursue action towards these shared goals. Within this framework, Schulman examines a range of case studies, from the fight for abortion rights in post-Franco Spain, to NYC's AIDS activism in the 1990s, to the current wave of campus protest movements against Israel's war on Gaza, and her own experience growing up as a queer female artist in male dominated culture industries. Drawing parallels between queer, Palestinian, feminist, and artistic struggles for justice, Schulman challenges the traditional notion of solidarity as a simple union of equals, arguing that in today's world of globalized power structures, true solidarity requires the collaboration of bystanders and conflicted perpetrators with the excluded and oppressed. That action comes at a cost, and is not always effective. And yet without it we sentence ourselves to a world without progressive change towards visions of liberation. By turns challenging, inspiring, pragmatic, and poetic, The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity provides a much-needed path for how we can work together to create a more just, more equitable present and future. Sarah Schulman is a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, nonfiction writer, and AIDS historian. Her books include The Gentrification of the Mind, Conflict Is Not Abuse, and Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987–1993, and the novels The Cosmopolitans and Maggie Terry. Schulman's honors include a Fulbright in Judaic Studies, a Guggenheim in Playwriting, and honors from Lambda Literary, the Publishing Triangle, NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists, the American Library Association, and others. Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker, New York, Harper's Magazine, The Atlantic, The Nation, The New Republic, The New York Times, and The Guardian. Schulman holds an endowed chair in creative writing at Northwestern University and is on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace. Learn more about your ad choices.

Join host Aaron Renn as he sits down with Caleb Morell, author of A Light on the Hill, to explore the rich history of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1878, this evangelical church, located just blocks from the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court, has remained steadfast in its theological convictions while navigating cultural, political, and social changes over 150 years. From its founding by Civil War veterans to its role in the fundamentalist-modernist controversy, urban challenges, and the revitalization under pastor Mark Dever, this episode uncovers what makes this church a unique case study in American Christianity. Learn how Capitol Hill Baptist has maintained its gospel-centered mission amidst D.C.'s evolving landscape, including its response to suburbanization, gentrification, and even a lawsuit against the city during COVID-19.CHAPTERS:(00:01 - Introduction)(00:24 - What Makes Capitol Hill Baptist Unique?)(03:33 - Founding and Early History (1878))(05:42 - Capsule Summary of the Church's History)(09:24 - The Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy)(14:56 - Suburbanization and Desegregation in the Mid-20th Century)(20:54 - Urban Planning and Parking Lot Disputes)(22:12 - Racial Integration and Social Engagement)(27:31 - The Marion Barry Era and Urban Violence)(32:13 - Mark Dever's Arrival and Church Revitalization)(35:50 - Gentrification and Its Impact)(38:38 - COVID-19 Lawsuit and Church Response)(41:38 - Commitment to Single-Service Gatherings)(45:09 - Political Engagement Over Time)(49:17 - The Importance of Institutions)(52:11 - Closing Remarks)CALEB MORELL'S LINKS:

Wealthier foreigners are driving up rental prices and driving out long-term residents in Mexico City. There have been demonstrations there this summer, with some protesters damaging shops and restaurants that cater to tourists. In the popular neighborhood of La Condesa, activists say that as many as one in five homes is now for shorter-term rentals. We'll hear how residents are feeling and learn how the government is responding. But first: good news on wholesale inflation.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Richard Kirk discuss the rise of inequality and homelessness, highlighting the lack of access to healthcare and resources for marginalized populations. They delve into the myth of trickle-down wealth and the downsides of gentrification. Richard also discusses the impact of large projects, such as stadiums, which increase property values and rents, exacerbating homelessness. He emphasizes the need for better regulations and policies to address these issues.     Key Takeaways: There is no adequate tracking of the fates of people displaced by gentrification, large-scale projects, and other circumstances.  Gentrification sometimes starts informally with young professionals, artists, or students moving into an affordable area with new businesses following. Other times, it is intentional with cities and developers targeting an area for development, but this is often done without protections for those original community members.  People in displaced communities often don't have the knowledge and energy, due to the roadblocks placed by those in charge and the need to work, in order to fight back against the gentrification and aggressive acquisition of their property.  Since the 1970s, the government has stepped back from providing affordable housing and robust social safety nets, prioritizing private investment and large development projects.   "It's really, really hard to combat something that is a global phenomenon without major reforms at the federal level. But elections at every scale matter, and voting still matters." —  Richard Kirk   Episode References:  SAJE - https://www.saje.net/  Necropolitics by Achille Mbembe: https://muse.jhu.edu/article/39984/summary  Neoliberal necropolitics and the global competition for urban dominance by Richard Kirk - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016718524001684?via%3Dihub    Connect with Richard Kirk: Professional Bio: https://geog.ucla.edu/person/richard-kirk/  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/richard-kirk-49110024a    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Abby and Patrick are joined by Dr. Josh West to talk about some remarkable developments in psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy in Australia. Josh explains to Abby and Patrick how the clinical trials he describes are better understood as an experiment in sustained psychotherapy rather than just testing a new drug, and how that experiment has profound psychoanalytic and psychodynamic salience. From the process of patient preparation to the details of “dose day” to the work of subsequent sessions of “integration,” Josh walks Abby and Patrick through how he and other clinicians do their work, and how they tackle the unique demands of maintaining a holding environment, navigating transference, precipitating psychic change, and providing help to patients who are working through end of life crises, longstanding pathologies, and other kinds of profound distress. Along the way, he provides vital context about the history of lab-based psychedelic research and the (mis)appropriation of indigenous traditions while assessing the practical, ethical, and legal challenges that arise when psychedelics become objects of psychopharmacological study, routinized treatment, and corporate investment. Josh's suggestions for further reading include: Michael Pollan, How to Change Your Mind Marc B.

The racial wealth gap in Washington DC isn't what you think it is. While conventional wisdom suggests Black families couldn't access homeownership due to racist housing practices, author Tanya Maria Golash-Boza reveals a more complex and troubling reality. Drawing from her personal experience growing up in DC's Petworth neighborhood as one of the few white children in a predominantly Black community, Golash-Boza uncovers how systemic disinvestment prevented wealth accumulation despite significant increases in Black homeownership between 1940 and 1970.However, as white families departed, they took businesses and tax dollars with them. Banks stopped lending in Black neighborhoods, leading to the gradual closure of theaters, grocery stores, and community amenities. The result? Property values remained flat for decades, preventing Black homeowners from building wealth through their largest asset. The urban crisis of the 1970s-80s compounded these challenges. As deindustrialization created a joblessness crisis affecting young Black men, the response was increased policing rather than addressing root causes. Looking ahead, Golash-Boza suggests solutions require rethinking housing as a human right through decommodification and limited equity cooperatives. If you're concerned about housing affordability, racial justice, or urban policy, this conversation offers essential insights into how historical policies continue to shape our cities today.Show Notes:Author Recommended Reading: Chocolate City by Derek Musgrove and Chris Myers AshCappuccino City by Derek HighraBlack in Place by Brandy SummersAfrican Americans and Gentrification in Washington DC by Sabiyha PrinceIntersectional Listening by Ali MartinTo view the show transcripts, click on the episode at https://bookedonplanning.buzzsprout.com/Follow us on social media for more content related to each episode:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/booked-on-planning/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BookedPlanningFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonplanningInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookedonplanning/

Investing in older, infill markets that are being repositioned and growing can be a recipe for huge appreciation. Over the past decade, several cities in Northern New Jersey with easy access to transportation have seen explosive growth in values. Gentrification has led to changes that have made these areas desirable to live in for upscale demographics. Aaron Fragnito, Co-founder of People's Capital Group, is an apartment syndicator who invests in smaller apartment buildings in Northern New Jersey and rehabs them to optimize their full potential. Aaron is a buy and hold operator who achieves return-of-capital via refinances.

Although Portland, Oregon, is sometimes called “America's Whitest city,” Black residents who grew up there made it their own. The neighborhoods of Northeast Portland, also called “Albina,” were a haven for and a hub of Black community life. But between 1990 and 2010, Albina changed dramatically—it became majority White.In We Belong Here, sociologist Dr. Shani Adia Evans offers an intimate look at gentrification from the inside, documenting the reactions of Albina residents as the racial demographics of their neighborhood shift. As White culture becomes centered in Northeast, Black residents recount their experiences with what Evans refers to as “White watching,” the questioning look on the faces of White people they encounter, which conveys an exclusionary message: “What are you doing here?” This, Evans shows, is a prime example of what she calls “White spacemaking”: the establishment of White space—spaces in which Whiteness is assumed to be the norm and non-Whites are treated with suspicion—in formerly non-White neighborhoods. Evans also documents Black residents' efforts to create and maintain places for Black belonging in White-dominated Portland. While gentrification typically describes socioeconomic changes that may have racial implications, White spacemaking allows us to understand racism as a primary mechanism of neighborhood change. We Belong Here illuminates why gentrification and White spacemaking should be examined as intersecting, but not interchangeable, processes of neighborhood change.

In this episode, artist and community advocate Corey La Rue. traces his relationship to the land, labor, and survival—from a near-death experience that altered the course of his life, to his ongoing advocacy for California's agricultural workers and displaced communities. Raised in the Bay Area in California, La Rue shares his early exposure to fieldwork through family ties to migrant labor. These firsthand experiences, coupled with his own time working in agriculture, shape his nuanced understanding of the exploitation embedded in the state's economy. What emerges is a critique rooted not in theory, but in lived knowledge: the food systems that sustain us are built on invisible suffering. In a conversation that flows between the local and the global, La Rue and Proenza examine the slow violence of gentrification, the complicity of liberal “investment” language, and the way grief and survival are interwoven. La Rue describes the rapid transformation of his Melrose neighborhood—where new development displaces working-class Latino families—and calls for greater grassroots resistance. The episode draws a powerful line from housing precarity to policy indifference to the long, often invisible, labor histories of California. This is a conversation about who gets to stay, who gets erased, and what it means to fight for the dignity of people and place. Explore Corey La Rue's work:

La capitale mexicaine manifeste contre le phénomène de gentrification qui provoque une flambée des loyers. Il devient difficile pour la population locale de se loger dignement, au profit des expatriés et des touristes, pour la plupart américains. Samedi 19 et dimanche 20 juillet, des manifestations ont réuni plusieurs milliers d'habitants en colère contre les privilèges économiques dont bénéficient les étrangers, plus aisés que les locaux. À Mexico, la colère gronde contre la gentrification qui sévit dans la ville. La maire de la capitale du Mexique, Clara Brugada, a présenté un plan pour lutter contre le phénomène. Elle promet d'encadrer l'augmentation annuelle des loyers, la création d'institution de contrôle et la création d'un indice de prix raisonnable. Des mesures encore floues et peu satisfaisantes, estiment de nombreux habitants de Mexico. D'autant qu'une loi pour réguler de la plateforme Airbnb est coincée dans les limbes parlementaires depuis des mois. La capitale mexicaine est une destination privilégiée du tourisme et des nomades digitaux, notamment des Américains qui s'établissent à court ou moyen terme dans la ville. Sauf que leur présence provoque une flambée des prix des biens de consommation et des loyers. Les salaires mexicains ne s'alignent pas, et il devient très compliqué pour les locaux de vivre dignement à Mexico. Dans le sud de la capitale, ils étaient des milliers à manifester ce weekend. La rancœur des habitants contre les privilèges économiques des étrangers est palpable.  Même en vivant très excentrée à l'est de la ville, Ali voit peu à peu les prix augmenter autour d'elle, signe d'une gentrification qui gagne du terrain. « Pour venir à l'université tous les jours, je dois faire plus de deux heures de transports. Dans le marché où je vais, on parle anglais maintenant, alors qu'avant c'était un tout petit village », regrette la jeune étudiante en architecture. « Je me sens comme un extraterrestre là-bas, je me sens exclu » Avec son amie Emilia, qui ne parvient à s'offrir qu'un petit logement mal entretenu avec son job d'étudiant, elles se préparent à manifester. « Je comprends qu'aux États-Unis et beaucoup d'autres endroits dans le monde, la gentrification est déjà un fait. Mais ce serait bien que là-bas, ils se battent pour leurs droits plutôt que de venir et d'agir comme des colonisateurs ici », dénonce-t-elle. Dans certaines zones de la ville, les loyers ont doublé d'une année sur l'autre. Juan se dit en faveur de la migration et du tourisme, mais il est exaspéré de la transformation brutale du centre de la capitale. « On n'y parle même plus espagnol. Les gens ne ressemblent plus à des Mexicains. Je me sens comme un extraterrestre là-bas, je me sens exclu. Avec le salaire que je gagne – la moyenne nationale, environ 415 euros –, jamais je ne pourrai réunir suffisamment d'argent pour acheter un petit appartement de 60 m² qui coûte 3,5 millions de pesos (160 000 euros, ndlr). Je n'y arriverai jamais. Mes enfants n'auront pas de logement », désespère-t-il. Face à l'augmentation des inégalités liées au pouvoir d'achat plus élevé des étrangers, la tension monte du côté mexicain – notamment dans un contexte de crispations entre les États-Unis et le Mexique autour des questions migratoires. Tony ne vit déjà plus dans la capitale, mais dans l'État voisin. Sa famille a dû se déplacer à cause de sa vulnérabilité économique. « Si on met parfois l'accent sur les étrangers, c'est parce qu'ils ont souvent des emplois payés en dollar ou en euros. Cela leur revient moins cher de venir vivre ici. C'est pour cela qu'ils peuvent de se payer le luxe de louer des belles maisons, acheter des choses et d'avoir un style de vie qu'ils ne pourraient même pas avoir chez eux. Justement parce qu'ils ne travaillent pas et qu'ils ne veulent pas non plus adopter la culture d'ici. Donc, on ne peut pas comparer un immigrant et quelqu'un qui vient seulement tirer avantage d'être payé dans une autre monnaie », considère-t-il. Pour l'instant, la régulation est quasiment inexistante à Mexico. Tandis quelques propriétaires et promoteurs tirent parti de cette crise du logement, de nombreux habitants se retrouvent sans défense face aux lois du marché, inquiets de voir partir avec eux l'âme de la capitale.
