"The Chain Reaction of Displacement" Skit for Popular Eduction
Channel: officialclvu
Date: 2015-05-31

In this skit, performed at one of City Life/Vida Urbana's weekly meetings, we see how displacement is a domino effect. This skit illustrates the key characters: banks, private market tenants, Section 8 tenants, investors, owners of HUD-subsidized buildings, corporate landlords, and homeowners. It shows why displacement is snowballing and why we need a "Just Cause" eviction ordinance in Boston in order to interrupt it.
