Gentrification Is Inevitable and Other Lies by Leslie Kern

I appreciated the attention toward intersections of gender, sexuality, race, and colonialism and I enjoyed how the book is structured around misconceptions about gentrification.
I did sometimes find myself wanting to have some of the cases shown to be better contextualized in national/local legal frameworks so I could get a better sense of differences between how gentrification unfolds in different cities across the planet, but I understand that this was ultimately not the aim of the book.
