Ph, that's insulting and beneath you. I'll let you walk that one back when you get a chance. This is a story that has happened over and over again to black, brown, and immigrant communities throughout the last 100 years. It's not surprising that it's happening here and the evidence that we have - accounts from residents, accounts from Buttigieg, and accounts from South Bend political operatives - more or less sound like the evidence in the texts that I'm teaching tomorrow. Hopefully, my students will be a bit more open minded about the evidence and implications that urban renewal has had on "the new urbanism" than you have been on this thread.
Ph, your posts on this thread is like the example sentence for the word "stan." Here is a similar sentiment on CNN. I'll be showing this video in class tomorrow so that my majority POC students know that slum clearance is still very much a strategy of urban development. This isn't just something that happened "back in the day."
And NED - c'mon, man. I'm just providing a different account of Mayor Pete's cleanup of South Bend's slums. It's not a great look, but showcases his self-confidence, hubris and efficacy. Textbook technocrat, which can be a good and bad thing.
