“Not that Jesus really had blue eyes. He probably looked very Iranian, right? But you know the Catholics — they had to gentrify him.”

And the remodeling of East London into a gentrified glass forest, a minor plot point, has only just begun.

California’s 34th District is overwhelmingly composed of renters and includes some of the most densely populated working-class neighborhoods in the country, as well as some of the most rapidly gentrifying sections of Los Angeles.

But as it moved through the gentrified streets, the initially peaceful protest turned ugly.

Anything less ignores the reality of the majority, and nearly ensures that these places will return more gentrified, wealthier and even more exclusive, the exact opposite of what public dollars should support.
