i think a lot about how the neighborhood's changing, see buildings changing hands, mac signs popping up everywhere. traffic traffic traffic. there's a new graphic horror novel, bttm fdrs, about the gentrification. it seems befitting this quiet pervasive phenomenon of capital conquest. they are in our midst, they can buy our neighborhoods, they come from somewhere, we don't know them, we never will, they don't live here, but they come into our buildings with money to buy the place we live in. this is the banal horror story of our lives.
