THESE ARE TWO IMAGES THAT ARE BEING USED IN AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN FOR A CONTROVERSIAL CONDO GENTRIFICATION PROJECT IN THE GERMANTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD OF PHILADELPHIA.
THIS TRAVESTY IS BEING BULT BY THE POST BROTHERS.
LOWER INCOME FAMILIES HAVE BEEN DISPLACED SO YUPPIES CAN INHABIT EXPENSIVE CONDOMINIUMS IN A DOWNSCALE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THERE ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL HOUSES IN GERMANTOWN BUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A HIGH CRIME RATE.
IT HAS BEEN DANGEROUS FOR DECADES.
I PERSONALLY DO NOT KNOW ANYONE THAT LIVES IN GERMANTOWN THAT HASN'T BEEN VISITED BY VIOLENT CRIME.
IT IS ONE OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAS SECTI
ONS OF WEALTH AND LUXURY THAT BORDER BLOCKS OF ABJECT POVERTY. G-TOWN IS THE SITE OF WEALTH INEQUALITY.
AS LONG AS THESE ECONOMIC EXTREMES EXIST IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ONE ANOTHER THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CONFLICT.
I WILL NOT BELABOR THE SEXISM IN THESE IMAGES BECAUSE IT IS TOO DAMN OBVIOUS A TARGET.
BASTA.
G-TOWN NEEDS THE ISSUE OF WEALTH DISTRIBUTION EXAMINED, NOT EXPENSIVE CONDOS.
STOP ME IF I START LYING.
