Our neighborhood group formed to address gentrification but half of us are homeowners who've been here for decades and half are renters who moved here recently and we keep talking past each other about what the actual problems are and what solutions would even help. I want us to find common ground but I'm starting to think we fundamentally disagree about what we're trying to preserve and for whom.
More people experience this than they realize.
People united by shared concern discover they have fundamentally different relationships to the problem and incompatible visions for solutions.
