We are too poor to afford anything : Retail gentrification mapping report Wallstam, Maria; Carnegie Community Action Project
Abstract
This report details the findings of a survey of retail in the Downtown Eastside and Chinatown. Conducted in both English and Cantonese, its starting goal was to “identify retail that caters to the low-income community”. However, it was soon found that even “businesses that are more affordable and welcoming to low-income people do not really meet the needs of people on social assistance”. The report covers topics of gentrification, provincial welfare, the cost of items in a gentrifying neighbourhood, the displacement of low-income residents to zones of exclusion and presents a number of recommendations for addressing this growing issue.
