In this episode, we share our perspective as a bicultural couple living in Mexico and unpack the complexities behind the recent protests. We talk about housing concerns, immigration policy, local frustrations, and how foreigners can travel more responsibly while still feeling welcomed in Mexico.Key Takeaways:The recent protests are more about housing inequality and lack of regulation than about foreigners themselves.Mexico's lenient immigration and Airbnb policies have contributed to housing issues in tourist-heavy neighborhoods.Responsible tourism and cultural respect are key to creating positive change for both locals and visitors.Relevant Links And Additional Resources:126 – ¿Gringos Gentrificando México? | Gringos Gentrifying Mexico?Level up your Spanish with our Podcast MembershipGet the full transcript of each episode so you don't miss a wordListen to an extended breakdown section in English going over the most important words and phrasesTest your comprehension with a multiple choice quizIf you enjoy Learn Spanish and Go, please consider subscribing, rating, and reviewinSupport the show

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. Michael O.

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.

In this episode, I'm joined by my longtime friend and world traveler, Nzingha Clarke . Nzingha offers a sharp and succinct reflection on the last five years of political complexity in America. With her verbal eloquence, she shares a deeply personal account of her experiences with gentrification in New York City—specifically through the lens of her life in Harlem and her efforts to protect her family home.Nzingha is one of my favorite thinkers. Her global travels have given her a multidimensional perspective on almost every subject, which consistently brings a refreshing take and an engaging listening experience.One thing is certain: Nzingha's words in this episode sound like a heartfelt love letter to Harlem.

In late May, Costa Rican police arrived in central Pavones at 4 a.m.—dressed in body armor, rifles in hand, and gas masks on—to escort demolition crews. Their mission: tear down local businesses. Residents, caught off guard, had to scramble just to salvage food and goods from inside the buildings. Shockingly, the local government of Golfito appears to be backing developers and demolition teams over the very citizens they were elected to serve.At the heart of the issue is a controversial slate of proposed luxury real estate developments. These projects threaten to reshape Pavones—impacting the environment, limiting beach access, and displacing local, family-run businesses.On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we are joined by Walter Brenes, a dedicated environmental lawyer standing alongside the local community against aggressive real estate developments. Walter shares the ongoing battle to protect Pavones' unique culture, environment, and heritage from gentrification and unlawful land concessions. We discover the historical context, current challenges, and the legal fight to save one of the world's most treasured surf breaks. This conversation explores the broader implications of unchecked development and the erosion of local communities worldwide. Tune in to learn how you can support Pavones and join the resistance.

Gotta celebrate the homegrown talent....On this episode we dive head first into a brand new local production that just got extended for another week at the Scotiabank Theatre here in Toronto. It's time for 'Boxcutter'Aspiring rapper, Rome, has all the talent and vision, but his crippling insecurity prevents him from sharing his music without a celebrity co-sign. When he learns that megastar producer Richie Hill will be making an appearance in Toronto's Parkdale neighbourhood, Rome devises a plan to get his album into Richie's hands.However, disaster strikes when Rome's apartment is burgled, and his only copy of the album is stolen.With the help of his activist-artist friend Jenaya, Rome sets out on a frantic mission to track down his four producers and reassemble his album. As they scour the gentrifying city, Rome struggles with self-doubt, while Jenaya challenges his need for industry approval, advocating for art that is as accessible as it is expressive.Hijinks ensue and their relationship is tested, but when Rome finally comes face to face with Richie Hill, he has a tough choice to make: finally pitch for that industry co-sign or take a leap of faith and bet on himself?While we've admittedly seen this kind of story before, it's rare to see a movie that is so specific to its surroundings as it oozes Toronto energy throughout and adds that many extra layers for those who live in the 416/905 getting to watch it.We had the pleasure of sitting down with director Reza Dahya to talk about the origings of the film, getting it all together, it's slick visual esthetic and the connections between music and film that run deeper then most of us realize.Check out 'Boxcutter' this weekend at the Scotiabank Theatre here in Toronto.

KNICKS IN 6!!!!!!!!jk.In today's episode, I discuss my mixed feelings about my beautiful city feeling a bit less united lately. From the changes I've seen since living here two summers 2015 & 2016 and moving here full time shortly after to through COVID to now, it is a little disappointing to see this place become divisive and isolated into social bubbles. New York was a place for misfits, creatives, disruptors, ambitious dreamers, and those who didn't belong anywhere who wanted to find themselves. It still is, but it seems like what is basic and popular is overwriting the local color and true meaning of what it means to be a New Yorker. From gentrification to social media to demographic shift to toxic mindsets tied with leaving NYC, I discuss a bit of everything. This city is the heart of so many industries and movements and is rich with so much history that I just want everyone who comes here to respect the communities, different cultures and people, and those who came before them.

Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
On May 16, 2025, an EF3 tornado tore through the city of St. Louis causing massive destruction. Instead of responding with aid to those who were impacted, the city deployed police to black communities and condemned 5,000 homes and buildings without fully reviewing if these designations were warranted. Some homes were condemned even though repairs were made. Clearing the FOG speaks with President Westbrook of the St. Louis branch of the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement and Jesse Nevel, chair of the Uhuru Solidarity Movement, about what the city is currently doing to force Black residents from their homes, how this is part of a longer-term effort and why it is necessary to support residents there.

Hey y'all! This is an update on the future of this platform. My health has dictated that instead of leading with defying gentrification, I need to lead with crafting liberation. Or in other words, I need to center my art projects and imbue them with the values about community and collectivity that I've always honored. I'm tired of being sick and broke trying to make folks listen. So this podcast will be shifting focus, but keeping the same name for now. Oh and to make it clear from what the episode title is and why, here's my final word on Black folks and gentrification:Black folks, especially in the diaspora, but sometimes even in heavily colonized areas of our home continent, can facilitate gentrification over their own people. And of course it can happen to us. But until the day we globally admit that Black folks that aren't named Oprah, Beyonce, Tyler Perry, and other documented Black billionaires and millionaires can't be gentrifiers, we are done as a movement and as a people. Those people I named aren't above being followed, sanctioned, denied financing opportunities, and the like for what they are intending to do with their work, because of global white supremacy over the financing markets and sometimes just the pettiest of racisms and other isms we do need to process as a people.Also, I will have 15th anniversary celebration this falll, a showcase of what the future of Kristen Jeffers Media will hold.

Le tourisme et la gentrification permettent souvent de revitaliser des quartiers, mais ils sont aussi parfois une menace pour leur identité, et pour le confort de leurs habitants. En Afrique du Sud, dans la ville du Cap, le quartier de Bo-kaap en fait les frais. Ses petites maisons colorées à flanc de colline ravissent les usagers d'Instagram et autres visiteurs. Une situation de plus en plus difficile à tenir pour les habitants. Après plusieurs années de lutte, ils viennent d'obtenir que les bus touristiques ne soient plus autorisés à entrer dans le quartier. De notre envoyée spéciale au Cap,Ruelles pavées à flanc de colline, le quartier de Bo-Kaap, « au-dessus du Cap » en afrikaans, a des allures de village, en plein cœur de la métropole d'Afrique du Sud. Un village aux mille couleurs, avec ses petites maisons roses, vertes, bleues qui font la joie des touristes comme Nadira. « Qui ne voudrait pas venir ici ? C'est vraiment joli pour faire des photos. C'est une attraction touristique, donc il fallait vraiment qu'on passe par ici », s'enthousiasme-t-elle.Chaque jour, une foule de visiteurs envahit les ruelles étroites du petit quartier. Un succès difficile à gérer pour les habitants. « C'est très beau ici et on comprend tout à fait que les gens veulent venir et prendre des photos. Le problème, c'est le manque de respect qui vient avec. Certains touristes pensent qu'en venant ici, ils peuvent faire tout ce qu'ils veulent. Qu'il s'agisse d'ouvrir le portail de quelqu'un et de monter le perron pour prendre une photo. Ou de demander à un habitant : "est-ce que vous pouvez rentrer dedans parce que je veux une photo de votre maison ?" », s'indigne Jacky Poking, résidente et activiste.Les résidents viennent d'obtenir l'interdiction pour les bus touristiques de circuler dans les ruelles, après des années à le réclamer. Descendante des esclaves malais, cette communauté à majorité musulmane est installée ici depuis des générations et y a fondé la première mosquée du pays. Elle a développé de nombreuses traditions, menacées aujourd'hui par la gentrification. « Nos tarifs, comme l'eau et l'électricité, augmentent d'année en année. Il devient donc très difficile pour les habitants de rester dans le quartier, même s'ils le souhaitent. Surtout les personnes âgées. Souvent, ceux qui ont vendu ces dernières années l'ont fait parce qu'ils n'arrivaient plus à payer », se désole Jacky Poking.De plus en plus de maisons sont rachetées par des investisseurs, constate Zaki Harris, habitant et guide touristique. « Dans ces rues principales, une maison sur deux est habitée par un Sud-Africain. Entre les deux, on trouve des Airbnb et d'autres locations à court terme. Des maisons qui restent vides la moitié de l'année », regrette-t-il. Zaki milite pour un tourisme plus soucieux des traditions, et qui profite davantage à la communauté, qui pour l'instant en perçoit peu les retombées. « Si nous ne promouvons pas un meilleur tourisme, il sera beaucoup plus difficile pour nos enfants de pouvoir garder le lien avec leur patrimoine culturel », estime-t-il. Difficile pour la petite communauté de résister aux assauts de la ville. Elle n'a pas réussi à empêcher la construction d'un immeuble de six étages en bordure du quartier.À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: le télévangéliste Timothy Omotoso à nouveau arrêté dans une affaire d'immigration

Ruth Glass (1912-1990) was a British sociologist and urban planner known for coining the term “gentrification” in 1964 to describe the transformation of working-class neighborhoods by middle-class newcomers. Her work focused on urban change, housing policy, and social inequality, particularly in London. For Further Reading: Ruth Glass: Beyond ‘Gentrification’ Oxford Dictionary of National Biography: Ruth Glass Ruth Glass at UCL Cliches of Urban Doom, and Other Essays (1988) This month, we’re talking about Word Weavers — people who coined terms, popularized words, and even created entirely new languages. These activists, writers, artists, and scholars used language to shape ideas and give voice to experiences that once had no name. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica.

Before Willie takes the mic, entrepreneur and author Dr. Rosie Milligan will tackle the urgent topic of the recent assault on Blackness and the profound impact of gentrification on our communities. Joining the conversation are Garveyites Brother Senghor Baye and Chief Foday, who will share their perspectives. Additionally, historian and talk show host Michael Imhotep will clarify how Donald Trump can legally pursue a third presidential term.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mike White engages in a captivating conversation with director Jeremy Workman and artist Michael Townsend about the 2024 documentary Secret Mall Apartment. The film chronicles the audacious endeavor of eight Rhode Island artists who, from 2003 to 2007, covertly built and inhabited a 750-square-foot apartment within the Providence Place Mall. This hidden residence, complete with furnishings and utilities, served as both a living space and a commentary on urban development and gentrification.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.
The show opens with Jason “Mayhem” Miller reading the news including stories about Trump signing an executive order proclaiming there are only two biological sexes, Joe Biden pardoning his family and Dr. Fauci in his final minutes in office, and Sen. John Fetterman arriving at Trump's inauguration in a hoodie & shorts. Next, comedian Ari Shaffir returns to the show to discuss his new Netflix special “America's Sweetheart.” They also discuss how his recent success comes from his lack of caring, the renewed acceptance of offensive comedy, having sex in the trunk of a Volkswagen Jetta, and the pitfalls of dirty talk. Then, Adam & Ari react to clips of a British cyclist who refused to use the bike lane, Scott Galloway explaining why he bet $358k on Kamala to win, and an old “Man Show” sketch. They also talk about the gentrification of Ari's neighborhood in NY, Howie Mandel's popcorn bucket, and whether or not there was FBI mixed into the protestors on January 6th.
