“To fight gentrification is to fight American thinking.”
Peter Moskowitz, How to Kill a City: Gentrification, Inequality, and the Fight for the Neighborhood

“But the city began spending on different things, turning away from social programs that help the poor and toward ones that help the rich—namely, subsidizing redevelopment. The near-bankruptcy made New York the first US city to employ gentrification as governance.”
Peter Moskowitz, How to Kill a City: Gentrification, Inequality, and the Fight for the Neighborhood

“Though the governments of Sweden, Hong Kong, and Germany are by no means anticapitalist, they have accepted a truth that few in the United States are willing to grapple with: unregulated capitalism cannot provide a complete solution to the housing question.”
Peter Moskowitz, How to Kill a City: Gentrification, Inequality, and the Fight for the Neighborhood

Tim  Marshall
“The GIUK is one of many reasons why London flew into a panic in 2014 when, briefly, the vote on Scottish independence looked as if might result in a Yes. The loss of power in the North Sea and North Atlantic would have been a strategic blow and a massive dent to the prestige of whatever was left of the UK.”
Tim Marshall, Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Global Politics

“Hipsters are fine with coffee but eye boutiques and banks with suspicion, yuppies are fine with the boutiques and banks but see landscapes radically altered by development as cultural losses, and developers such as Pres Kabacoff are fine with those landscapes as long as they don’t inspire protest.”
Peter Moskowitz, How to Kill a City: Gentrification, Inequality, and the Fight for the Neighborhood
