My dad, in his spare time, loves sending me editorial cartoons that he thinks I'll find either funny or accurate. He sent me this cartoon a while back and I thought it has some significance to the ideas brought up in the reading we did this past weekend. The controversies that lie behind gentrification projects bring up the idea of racial re-segregation and socioeconomic exclusion. This cartoon, while obviously oversimplified, does a good job of both making light of a very disturbing trend as well as point out some serious flaws within the logic of urban housing.
