But \u201chipsters\u201d (I apologize for the scare-quotes, but I can\u2019t write that word without them), like Latinos, just want a place to live. Their enemy is not one another, but a system and culture that would pit them against one another in this fashion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Note: The Fillmore in San Francisco was Japantown before WWII. It was the biggest Japantown in the States, ever, if I\u2019m not mistaken. The WWII war machine turned the Fillmore into the Harlem of the West: the Japanese were interned, Southern blacks came to the West looking for work with the Navy. I wish cities worked differently, but a static city is a dead one.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/chicagoist.com\/2011\/05\/12\/personally_we_wouldnt_be_entirely_1.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via Chicagoist<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&rsquo;t know much about Pilsen but this sounds a lot more like the situation in the Mission rather than the Fillmore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>willystaley: As a follow-up to recent postings on urban renewal and gentrification, here is a \u201cfound\u201d flyer from a Chicago neighborhood I\u2019ve heard described as \u201cthe Bushwick of Chicago.\u201d As in: Latino, gentrifying.
