Increasing the recognition and representation of women and other underrepresented groups in design and planning, and expanding our conception of who uses urban space, are important.

“The changes we are setting in motion today will reach a half-million New Yorkers, in every community, and from every walk of life. They will make our families and our city stronger.”

Not only will the rezoning provide new residential and retail opportunities in East New York but it will utilize its space to its maximum potential.

He argued that his plan gives the city and local politicians leverage to compel private interests to bankroll lower-rent housing. It will also allow, he claimed, the community to squeeze developers to fund park and school improvements and other neighborhood amenities.

“If you are saying ‘100% affordable,’ you are saying ‘all taxpayer-funded.’ Let’s be honest about this. The money has to come from somewhere. And it has to be there for decades to come,” the mayor said. “Someone has to subsidize that. We don’t have the money to do 100%-affordable.”

She often made the trip to visit her friends at the remaining strip of rowhouses at Cabrini-Green. She went to the jazz concerts held in the nearby park. Like many relocated families, she felt safer in the vestiges of the old neighborhood. When Raqkown, Ricks’s youngest, left his high school most days, he traveled to the field house at Cabrini. The principal at the neighborhood elementary school said two-thirds of his students were former Cabrini families who took the bus and train long distances to get there. Several Cabrini-Green Facebook pages formed, people reporting job opportunities and business ventures, sharing words of inspiration and announcements of deaths in the Cabrini family. Oftentimes a post showed a photo of one of the disappeared high-rises — “Who can say what building this is?” — leading to long threads of competing memories.

An elderly woman announced for Rose to hear that she didn’t like the Cabrini people and wanted them gone. When Reggie and Raqkown tried to play basketball at the courts beside their apartment, the guys there threw elbows and fists, trying to turn the game into a brawl.

2003 book titled “When Public Housing Was Paradise.”

The hero of the 1943 novel is an architect of a public-housing complex who becomes enraged when he returns from a trip to discover that his bare-bones high-rise has been compromised to include “the expense of incomprehensible features” like balconies, a gymnasium, extra doorways and decorative brickwork. In an act portrayed as a valiant defense of his convictions, he dynamites the entire building.

The politics of reproduction, on the other hand, proceeds through a broader form of social composition, which aims to build relations in many different domains of life. By bringing together individuals and breaking down narrow separated units of family and community, it builds those basic relations of conviviality, trust and common struggle that make up social forces.

When the wage becomes secondary in the face of self-organized infrastructures, reproductive and domestic work can come to be seen for what it is: crucial life-sustaining labor that runs across all domains.

When embarking on a defense of welfare rights, social struggles often subvert this statist horizon, and end up producing concrete political projects that supply and care even where the state does not.

The idea of a housing crisis is politically loaded

housing struggles were derivative of class struggle. Housing problems, then, could only be addressed through social revolution.

I care less about the conclusions students reach than about the reasoning processes that lead to them.

This alternative is a much more realistic approach in determining which individuals are to be considered living below a standard of need since household size, age, and location are all accounted for. For example, according to the chart above, the federal poverty measure will consider a household of four that have less than a total of $23,850 pre-tax cash income as impoverished. However, thousands of people living above the poverty line cannot meet their basic needs. Yet, the self-sufficiency standard will consider a household for more specifically, two adults, one preschooler, and one school aged child that have less than a total of $63,979 of total income in California as living below the standard of need.

It is a demand that connects the rise of proto-fascist and white supremacist ideologies to the fundamental relationship between people and land.

It means developing practical strategies for taking small steps that move us toward making our dreams real and that lead us all to believe that things really could be different. It means living this vision in our daily lives.

The relationship between police regimes and urban redevelopment is one in which processes such as homeless removal, the privatizing of public spaces and the expansion of other practices that serve to police the poor, redraws the social and political geographies of urban places (Mitchell & Staeheli, 2006; Davis, 2006; Camp, 2012; Sorkin, 1992; Low, 2006). This strategy of capitalist development is one in which securitization attempts to solve what are social and political crises (Camp 2012; Gilmore 2007).

allows Trump to define the residents of the inner city as the other, clearing the way for ‘law and order’ and ‘tough’ policing to be the best policies to reduce crime”

“inner city” itself is outmoded, not to mention imprecise and inaccurate. The descriptive swelled in the 1960s and ‘70s with contexts of white flight and the pathologization of urban anti-capitalist organizing by people of color (POC), and then dramatically decreased.

Can we ask: is racism precarity? What opportunities are there in following Gilmore by bringing state and law, production, exploitation, and death, and the twin operations of collectivity and differentiation into our analyses of what precarity is or does?
