Started off slow, but I’m glad I hung in there. “Rear Window meets Get Out” is pretty accurate but also not quite complete. 

If you’ve been on NextDoor you know how accurate and believable the “Our Hood” app postings interspersed in the story are. They were a perfect vehicle for illustrating the attitudes of white gentrifiers - even those who aren’t explicitly plotting evil.
