I hope it can be a place for discussion about socialism in cities, to better develop and understand socialist alternatives to problems like rent, land use, transit, access to services, the city's relation to the suburban and countryside, segregation, etc.

I reject the notion that waves of gentrification and displacement are properties inherent to urban places. They're the effect of capital struggling for a monopoly on use of land against the commons. It waxes and wanes, but the cycle can be broken.
