P.E. Moskowitz, author of “How to Kill a City” is coming to Spokane on May 22nd to speak at Spokane City Hall about gentrification and displacement. Gentrification is a word that is thrown around but can sometimes be hard to nail down. In this discussion, Moskowitz will present on what gentrification actually means, what causes it, and how it could affect our community moving forward. The speaker will be followed by a panelist of local experts and community members from across disciplines to discuss solution-oriented ways forward for Spokane.

Spokane is changing fast and we need to take steps to ensure that it changes in a way that is still affordable to our community members. Rather than just thinking bigger, we need to be thinking better. Making sure our neighbors aren't displaced and that Spokane residents can afford to stay in their homes is critical.
