"Gentrification" in the 21st Century?
In our "stealthy" world, awash in Propaganda, we need the correct "background" to see correct "images" of what we're offered to believe. Detroit, the "Motor City" (see Blog from the OWL, November 30, 2012), is back in the news. Dimon, of Chase Bank, http://finance.yahoo.com/news/jamie-dimon-investing-detroit-says-124256538.html; "invests" in this decaying, rotting, hulk, the "inner core" of the neglected "inner cities" problem in the United States that reaches back more than fifty years.
Bubba Clinton is spearheading a similar move as whites "move back" to Harlem, an historic black "inner city" on Manhattan Island, NYC. What's UP??
"Community Development", according to Dimon. Is that similar to "Community Organizing"? Who "owns" property in Detroit, these days? Who "owned" the property of Detroit when it was "all black"? Wikipedia's account of the famous 1943 Detroit Race Riot shows the "all white" racial composition of the city as Blacks were recruited to the city to support the War effort http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Race_Riot_(1943).
For those economically "savvy", and up on the dollars and "sense" of energy costs, A regenerated, properly planned new city could be very pleasant to live in -- no matter what your color. But what "color" will be "favored" in Detroit today? How would we know? If it goes the way of our politics, FAT CATS will have the edge; "color" TBD!
If Security, or "Public Safety" is your concern, and you are a history buff, you'll know that cities were, in the old days, a place where people gathered with defense from "invaders", in mind. Has the world worked its way back to that? We know the "suburbs" were created by politicians with federal money to benefit "white" veterans returning from World War II. Our economy has turned in a direction where suburban living is not sustainable, economically.
Stay Vigilant! Get Your Bids In? Are they "playing" for "Table Stakes"?? "Deja Vu"??
