Scenario

When community organizing reveals conflicting interests among members

Our neighborhood group formed to address gentrification but half the members are homeowners who benefit from rising property values and half are renters facing displacement and we're all pretending this isn't a fundamental conflict. Every meeting feels like we're dancing around the real issue.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group's shared concern masks fundamentally opposing economic interests that make genuine solidarity nearly impossible without direct acknowledgment.
