>So given that you are part of the gentrification of predominantly black neighborhoods, maybe you can tell me what it's like to be part of that "conspiracy" that drives poor black people out of their homes and allows rich white people to move in and buy up the rapidly appreciating real estate.

It feels kind of shitty sometimes. I can see how the police here treat us differently than they do the residents of the projects just a block away. They're clearly here to protect us, not them.

But when I started my consulting business, I needed to move to a place with a real transit hub.

At the same time, I'm trying to figure out somehow I can get involved to do something to mitigate it. It's not easy though in a huge city. But for one thing, those housing projects need to get rebuilt and expanded.

>Same thing is happening in San Francisco, by the way.
