Chapter One: O Sole Mio American Fascismo

CHAPTER ONE

My geographic movements during the past year could be called “A Tale of Two Couches.” So as June draws to a close, I assume the position here again on Couch California. I am back in Hemet, the place the smug among us call Hemetucky--as if there was nothing a couple of Mint Juleps and a **** of Blue Grass wouldn’t cure. It is the year of our Lord, 2014: so far an interesting year for women. There was a gal who wore socks to bed. There was always my long-time, here today-gone tomorrow, long moment companion, currently training somewhere remote on the Big Rez, a southwestern Navajo concentration camp adjacent the 4 Corners. Next, there’s my current object of fondness , that fine and frisky lady from The Bronx by way of Bernalillo--currently at home in Laguna Beach, Orange County. Trixie: my main squeeze at the moment.

And now, completely out of the ******* sky this afternoon, my cell phone rings and it’s ******* Juanita--my all-time favorite woman, Juanita Mi Favorita de La Quinta--a Coachella Valley town and desert wadi, extending its lucrative winter tourist season to grow a significant, year-round retirement venue and a r fetish-friendly gay dating becontree

A Pluralistic and Comparative Assessment of Gentrification in London and New York

Introduction: towards a C21st global gentrification studies

Loretta Lees

Handbook of Gentrification Studies

This Handbook surveys the contemporary state of compete of the gentrification studies literature, a body of work that now dominates both the sub-discipline of urban geography and also urban studies more generally. It does not place out to rehearse previous debates on the definition of 'gentrification' nor does it rehearse the well-worn battlegrounds over explanations (on these see Lees, Slater and Wyly, 2008, 2010); rather this book is a collection of chapters by both long-standing and up-and-coming researchers on gentrification that represents the latest in global thinking on this process. It provides critical reviews and appraisals of the current mention of, and future progress of, conceptual and theoretical approaches, as well as empirical knowledge and comprehension in gentrification studies. It also seeks to support dialogue across disciplinary boundaries, for the contributors recline in and work across geography, sociology, anthropology, planning, policy, law, and so on. The book is d

DRUGS

About drugs

Why we take drugs

They give pleasure, build us feel less inhibited, make us feel horny and more intimate sexually, and intensify feelings of friendship and togetherness when socialising.

They take us out of ourselves and away from our everyday lives, for a while at least. They take us up and down, sideways, and through the middle. If this wasn’t the case millions of people wouldn’t take them, so there’s absolutely no gesture saying they don’t complete something when they do.

However, these are not the only reasons. Scratch the surface and there’s experimentation, unhappiness, rebellion, relaxation, break out, fitting in, loneliness, peer pressure, boredom, and the ease of availability of drugs, particu
