Mainline contributor and author Sylvia Johnson joins Aja this week to dive into why we should really care more about gentrification. Besides the obvious problems gentrification brings — increasingly expensive rents and mortgages, higher eviction rates, displacement of lower-income communities of color, and so on — there are deep relations between gentrification, police brutality, and climate/environmental justice that are too often circumvented in the media.
