The 7/11 Motor Lodge destruction happened in earnest today, so we’re writing this weekly Substack on a Thursday night. It’s been rapid gentrification, with the 2nd Street downtown Reno motel boarded up just a few days ago. What is gentrification? Succinctly, it’s when entire neighborhoods renovate due to new development, most often, pushing poorer populations out. When those poorer populations are a majority, it’s been shown, time and time again, public concerns such as sidewalk repair are less of a priority than in more affluent neighborhoods.
7/11s and Jacobsville or Jacobstown?
