Anonymous asked: "Welcome To Paradise" is about getting used to a "shitty area" and finding you actually enjoy living there after a while, not gentrification. Even after the writer says they like the place they live in, they emphasise that it's still a crappy area, with cracked streets and broken homes. It's from the time period where the author lived in an old abandoned warehouse in the shitty part of Oakland with a bunch of other people.
dude, seriously?After six months and he made it his home, you think he assimilated to shooting people down at the station?
Like, I have NO IDEA how you’re constructing “young artists living in a warehouse in a shitty part of Oakland” as distinct from “gentrification”How is “young artists living in a warehouse in a shitty part of Oakland” even remotely related to the process of turning a poor neighborhood into a rich neighborhood?
