Some thoughts as I was reading this article: (1) This is happening in Chapel Hill. (2) Not only is that happening in Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill has been cited on a numerous occasion for being a sort of hipster paradise (3) For-profit company Buzz Rides receives $15,000 in student fees (4) Ive heard this many a time, that someone is socially-liberal and economic-conservative ... and according to this article, you, my friend, are a conservative … (5) The March on Washington, in 1963, asked for a minimum and livable wage that would be the equivalent to $15, today. (6) Is it too much to compare gentrification to the colonial occupation of the Americas and the displacement of indigenous people? People are those who can afford to view poverty through the lens of aesthetics as they pass it by. This isnt to say that I agree with every implication of this article, but it asks us students of the institution to be aware of our role and impact on a community. We are here for a short amount of time relative to folks who actually inhabit Chapel Hill specifically, and thus we should be mindful and respectful of where we leave our Tar Heel footprint.
