Thanks for that LL. Our whole country needs more work on that last part. |
![]() |
![]() oh yes, linda, spring is here in full force. way too early for my taste, though Mother knows best. rumour has it the redbud are blossoming.. i live in a small high-rise-type building, so no nature to speak of out my window.... linda, there are many leftovers of race issues still here. we are fighting gentrification, and it's winning; the tourist industry is killing what used to be the charm of this locale. in the short time i've been here there have been close to 10 hotels built in the downtown area.. it's awful. it's happening everywhere, even tiny little cooperstown is succumbing, i heard the plea from the town matriarch that the baseball stores have to stop... i say that's closing the barn door way too late. |

![]() @TDK60 ~ indeed. the depth of racism intrinsic to the culture reveals its ugly face a bit more each day. @annie ~ having been gentrified out of 4 different nyc neighborhoods, i'm pained to hear it. thanks for the welcome, people! :-) |

Quaintness under siege almost everywhere. Annie, what's a "baseball store"? |
![]() |
![]() thinking of the downtown i remember in asheville ~ where in hell did they jam 10 hotels? |
![]() |
![]() i'm guessing baseball stores are like tourist stores on Times Square ~ pricey memorabilia mass-produced in China for the tourist trade. |
![]() |
🎃
Sat. 2/24/18 7:39am
TDK60:
Enticing sound there by...Fronds? |
![]() |
![]() @TDK60 ~ the authentic under siege everywhere indeed ~ so bits of true authenticity are going for astronomical prices wherever it can be found. & the cycle continues. |
![]() |
![]() a baseball store is any establishment that sell baseball-related items.. it's beyond me that there can be so many.... i guess it's akin the the many "thrift" stores that sell "vintage" items. anything is commodified now |
![]() |
![]() zone 5b and my narcissus are breaking ground, hundreds of tiny bright green tips... beautiful. |
![]() |
![]() who'd a thunk it? our history, our community, our uniqueness all monetized & up for grabs, as well as actual experience. @Zetti ~ fantastic. at about this time in the catskills we start to doubt spring will ever come. so nice to get reports of the real thing.. |
![]() |
![]() @annie ~ that sure sounds like the nyc tourist stores. 5 stores on one block selling exactly the same items. weird. |
![]() |
![]() at least with vintage stores there's a little variety. speaking of, one of the greatest things about asheville when i lived there were the thrift stores. not vintage stores. thrift stores. coats for a quarter. that sort of thing. habitat had a truly great store there. |
![]() |
![]() It's no surprise that in NYC whole neighborhoods have been completely transformed, and now Long Island City in Queens is morphing by the minute. Giant buildings on the waterfront, huge hotels near Court Square, small hotels everywhere (and growing like fungus in Manhattan also). Not that LIC was beautiful. It's an old neighborhood with some old buildings but mostly industrial over the last century. Condos everywhere now. |
![]() |
![]() they still do, but they have fallen to the high-ticket pricing... i will say, though, that there are many ways to get what you ned here. the free food nd sharing community is thriving.. you will NOT go hungry here if you land flat on your ass.. housng is another story; the joke of "affordable" housing is sad.. and they rant on about how it has to be a certain way. acquiescing to a gubmint standard is shameful.. break the mold and stap out of the box!! |
![]() |
![]() @Jeffrye Davidson ~ saddest thing about this: those condos will largely sit empty ~ functioning mainly as investment, often to foreign entities. empty space, no community. & without actual community & actual neighborhoods, what is NYC? why bother? (i was born & raised there.) |
![]() |
![]() @annie ~ lovely to hear about food sharing! i did a little volunteer work for food not bombs there & it's one of the best things i've ever done. |
![]() |
![]() very satisfying just giving people food. |

Sat. 2/24/18 7:54am
TDK60:
Yeah, Brooklyn and Lower East Side-- all these mushrooming modern mini-high rises. And lots of empty apts. And 60,000 homeless. |
![]() |
![]() @TDK60 ~ ugly in many ways. not that nyc has ever been a 'for the people' town ~ but there was balance. now? can't imagine how working people really make it. |
![]() |
![]() in 20 years the whole city-scapes will be very different, with the lower classes enmassed in subsidized housing. linda, there is a wonderful group of people, Firestorm, who have literally swung the pandulum back to those in need. they are an anarchist group and have opened a free lunch kitchen down in west asheville.. they are on facebook.. the program they host is called "12 Baskets".... food donations, clothing donations.. the "fighting back" is in the gerosity of those who can help and do.. even restaurants are donating end-of night meals in trays-full of meals... my mobility issues prevent me from actively participating, but the altruist part of me is joyful at the bounty |
![]() |
![]() There were, not too long ago, lots of affordable neighborhoods. Okay, I'm basically going back 20 years or more, in some instances. Even 10 years ago there were some. |
![]() |
![]() @annie ~ nice. very nice. lots of that going on when i was there as well. we do what we can, even if only sharing good will. that's pretty important now. |

NYC was never fair. But in the 1950s thru '80s one could afford rent. Then property owners jacked up rent. Gettin' pullitical here but so did some great folkies we all know. |
![]() |
![]() right. balance in all things ~ even community ~ is essential to the health of the whole. |
![]() |
![]() what good is to to a community or a city when the rapaciousness of landowners is so extreme that it pays them to have living space empty? |
![]() |
🎃
Sat. 2/24/18 8:03am
TDK60:
Linda and Annie have already pointed us to the simple but difficult-to-reach solution: a caring society! |
![]() |
![]() forgive the nostalgia, but in nyc 70s - 80s a creative person could live in such a way that selling wasn't the priority ~ you could do the work you wanted to do & survive as well. that made for vital & interesting work. |
![]() |
![]() good morning all. Jeffrey, just awesome show as always. I see we're talking gentrification and ... whew. I live in a small city north of Boston that still has a goodly number of independently-owned small stores and restaurants, even a comix store that seems to be doing OK, and a new bookstore that's part of a small local chain. Where the gentrification is coming in is in housing: the city council seems hellbent on putting in as many apartment buildings as possible: they're cheaply constructed, even the "luxury condos", and residents old and new are not happy. The DSA is doing some good work to resist and combat gentrification, as are many local orgs. But those efforts seem best organized in Boston and cities like Lynn that have been despoiled by white flight and funding drain for decades, leaving the poorer folks to fend for themselves against late-stage capitalism. That's my tome/rant for the morning. I'm off to a DSA meeting today: my hope is that we regular folks can organize and stop the gentrification combine permanently. |

I lean more to the sorts mentioned by Annie in Asheville. But I'm glad DSA is growing. What city, TestingW.F.? Lynn? |
![]() |
![]() there was a time when a city's population actually took and interest in its future and the people who lived there. i'm sad that the current generation of "adults" here is unaware of social activism.they hit the hot topics, march and shout, then go home. the activism ends when the action is over. i see very little continuous effort from the millenials, whose focus is on the issue of the moment, ignoring the on-going troubles. no one wants to interact with the dirty smelly old people or homeless. thank god we have our active older folks.... |

@Linda & Annie I agree about the narcissistic self-expression bit. I think most change happens as a result of persistent and often boring work behind the scenes. | |
![]() |
![]() agreed, melinda.. |
![]() |
![]() no doubt. it's a shame, but dissent for too many means marching ~ & there's no understanding there that change isn't about marching (while marching is the prime tool of manufactured consent now.) |
![]() |
![]() i prefer the quiet steady activism of volunteerism, it casts a wider ripple |
![]() |
![]() sorry, meant to write 'manufactured dissent' there .. manufactured consent is media, not marching :-D |
![]() |
![]() @annie ~ not so splashy or titillating :-D |
![]() |
![]() yes, linda, every marching or protest action now has become another commodity in some ways.. |
![]() |
![]() sure. |
![]() |
![]() flash political action without sustained commitment is easy to manifest .. easy to manipulate. |
