It means more than the arrival of trendy shops, much-maligned hipsters, and expensive lattes. The very future of American cities as vibrant, equitable spaces hangs in the balance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e P. E. Moskowitz's \u003ci\u003eHow to Kill a City\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers from the kitchen tables of hurting families who can no longer afford their homes to the corporate boardrooms and political backrooms where destructive housing policies are devised. Along the way, Moskowitz uncovers the massive, systemic forces behind gentrification in New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, and New York. In the new preface, Moskowitz stresses just how little has changed in those same cities and how the problems of gentrification are proliferating throughout America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The deceptively simple question of who can and cannot afford to pay the rent goes to the heart of America's crises of race and inequality. A vigorous, hard-hitting expos?, \u003ci\u003eHow to Kill a City\u003c\/i\u003e reveals who holds power in our cities and how we can get it back. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pe Moskowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1645030741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645030744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold Type Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.72d","brand":"Pe Moskowitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670611677439,"sku":"9781645030744","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-to-kill-a-city-pe-moskowitz-9781645030744","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
