Gentrification, A Quandary 08/05-06/2018

["The Schumpeterians have all along gloried in capitalism's endless creativity while treating the destructiveness as mostly a matter of the normal costs of doing business." - Social Geographer David Harvey on Creative Destruction] [Lk 15:22-23]

Ebb and flow, The places of man, A limited span In form and presence. ~ Expansion, contraction, Arriving, birthing, Leaving, dying, All wind in the grass. ~ The forgotten remembered, It, for its nature, Them, removable fixtures, Renew for me, not thee. ~ Use artist and chef, Lease till comes its rise

Instruments to cleanse Out them,unwanted others. ~ The price in lives... Who shall pay? But Lazararus shall have his day In the final court.
