This month we're talking about gentrification and the rising costs of housing. We'll discuss three articles that describe the problen and two possible solutions to deal with it. Join us at our new location at Orca Books!

• Liberalism and Gentrification, by Gavin Mueller. The author argues that gentrification is not a cultural phenomenon, but an offensive by capitalist class.
• The Solution is Social Housing, by Ryan Cooper and Peter Gowan. To solve the housing cirses, we should have the government build more housing.
• Thinking Small, by F.T. Green. Does the focus on tiny homes and micro-units mean we've given up on truly affordable housing?
• Optional reading: Social Housing in the United States, by Cooper and Gowan. The full study from The People's Policy Project, argues municipal housing built and owned by the state is the best solution to the housing crisis.
