"LRTs displace all the poor people"?
#54
I think about displacement like a dinner table. Husband and wife eat dinner each night for many years, and then baby comes along with his high chair, brother moves in with his sibling, grandparent moves in. We don't have any one of these people kick husband and wife out of the dinner table, we find ways to make the table bigger, to fit more people in. This is hard enough in any area with anti-change attitudes. When 1/3 of your core is also heritage, it's another level of no-go zones and entrenched mindsets to deal with. Unless you build more space, every person who comes here does so by kicking someone else from the table, and every person here shaking their finger at it also kicked someone else from the table to get here earlier on, too.
