[quote=Anonymous]I attended a really interesting talk at work before the pandemic, by a few professors l from AU and l think Howard. This paper “Dog Parks and Coffee Shops: faux diversity and consumption in gentrifying neighborhoods” https://edspace.american.edu/griers/wp-content/uploads/sites/371/2020/06/faux-diversity-dog-parks-and-coffee.pdf The wealthier people move in and so does Whole Foods, Starbucks and dog parks. The old residents don’t patronize these more expensive establishments. So there is segregation within the faux diverse neighborhood. This is based on their research of gentrifying DC neighborhoods. Their point was both sets of people should talk to each other, be friendly, go into each others spaces and learn about them. [/quote]
