In my city, Austin, TX, where the unofficial motto is "Keep Austin Weird", we are seeing increasing incidences of neighbor attacking neighbor under the guise of "code enforcement". Both artists (see bit.ly/poiGV9 and bit.ly/dqHuAT) and gardeners (bit.ly/qCPjKQ) in east and south Austin have been affected, areas where gentrification is on the rise. A complex dynamic is at play involving race, class, money and history. Reading these stories breaks my heart and remind me of Rodney King's famous quote, "People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?"Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621220516578692069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-85756417019916349742011-09-20T11:56:49.057-07:002011-09-20T11:56:49.057-07:00Great post, Gina.
