ARTICLE Gentrification and the Urban Garden via The New Yorker
Regarding development in West Oakland and neighboring areas. The issue of gentrification here brings up the question of how survival-based practices and craft have become objectified, packaged, and sold to boutique buyers at the expense of others. Urban gardening, farming, and beekeeping - these productive practices come from a history of struggle and celebration, not really from magazines or cute shops (as much as I love them).
