| The
School day is about to end... |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
| Ms.
Blank is at the front of the room lecturing about gentrification in the
Mission District of San Francisco. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Gentrification
is when middle class people and big businesses move into working class
neighborhoods. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This
drives rents and property taxes up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| People
who can no longer afford to live in the gentrified area are forced to
move away. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The
small businesses that served and employed them often close down. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In
just a couple of years, thousands of people can be displaced. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| But
this is so boring! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Us kids
have our own problems. |

drifts in and out, only hearing some of what the teacher says. |
