Chinatowns across the nation, is very near and dear to me. Gentrification is a phenomena and more complex than Public Discourse would have us believe. We are in logan square in chicago where catalytic investments like the 606 rail to trails project forced residents to move because they cannot upkeep the increasing cost of housing and in other neighborhoods folks are leaving for a different reason because you havent seen investment in decades. If we as a city does learn from our mistakes we will continue to suffer from unintended consequences related to gentrification, inaccessible education, housing, displacement.

I just did ain degree at the university of california armstrong. Since i have a captive audience i will digress from my normal talk in address of the university of georgia board of regents. About ten or 12 years ago armstrong was a commuter college it with no residence halls. As i recall the board of regents said Georgia Southern is a little too large lets make armstrong a Residential College and turn it into another Regional School and we will take some of the pressure off of Georgia Southern. Armstrong has beautiful residential halls. The school is growing and now here is this phenomenally incredibly stupidph decision to somehow merge these two schools that are an hour apart. T.
