This book had its moments, but overall it left me a bit unsatisfied. I certainly didn't think it was hilarious, which some reviews called it. Some insightful commentary on race and gentrification, but it didn't go far enough, I think.

Reminded me of what New Orleans felt like in first years after Katrina. Markovitz captures well what happens in any city where gentrification happens
