Question
Columbia University Professor Lance Freeman's NPR (National Public Radio) interview presents a complex, multi-layered argument about gentrification not only around Columbia's Harlem-area campus but in the nation in general. His viewpoint is based on a study he and fellow researchers have conducted. Freeman argues for the many positive economic and social changes brought on by gentrification. At the same time, Freeman acknowledges the “double-edged sword” and many negative impacts that gentrification brings about. He also responds to numerous callers who challenge his research findings and the conclusions he’s drawn from those findings.
Listen to the interview, then write a dialectic argument (thesis- antithesis-synthesis) of half a page either advocating for or arguing against Freeman's conclusions about gentrification. Please reference specific information that Freeman has stated about his research study and his specific response to those who disagree with his conclusions. For example, what does Freeman say are the options that lower-income residents have in gentrifying neighborhoods? How often, according to Freeman’s study, do lower-income individuals move and for what reasons do they typically move? Are there services that become more available for lower-income residents in gentrifying neighborhoods and what are those services? How does Freeman respond to callers who refer to dramatic levels of price increase and population displacement in specific areas such as Salt Lake City, Utah and Baltimore, Maryland?
