We're finally back after being unable to record for a few weeks. We return with a roller coaster of an episode! We invite our friend Christian back for another episode as we dive into gaming and give our takes on the games released this year. We also talked about some contenders for Game of the Year and recanted some of our favorite games from yesteryear. A quick emergency causes Christian to become the host for about 30 minutes, and it's an enjoyable listen!

Featuring our very own Tre III.
In this episode, we are joined by our friend Angela to discuss gentrification and the rapidly changing culture of our neighborhoods. We noticed a rise in new developments and we took this episode to address how we feel it impacts the community. We also get a quick phone cameo from Sanaul, who imparted to us some valuable knowledge about franchises and the Indian community. You might actually learn something this episode. If not, thanks for listening anyway! Also, all of the questions for this ep were generated by Chat GPT!
What is gentrification and how does it impact communities?
What are some of the signs that a neighborhood is undergoing gentrification?
How do developers and investors contribute to gentrification?
How can long-time residents resist gentrification and maintain their communities?
What are some of the negative consequences of gentrification, such as displacement and cultural erasure?
How can local governments and policymakers address the issue of gentrification?
Is it possible for gentrification to have positive effects on a neighborhood? If so, what are they?
How does it intersect with other social justice issues, such as race, class, and access to resources?
Can affordable housing policies be effective in preventing gentrification? If so, how?
How can we ensure that the benefits of development and economic growth are shared equitably among all members of a community, and not just the wealthy or privileged few?
