Destroy The System! And Then We Can Go Home For Mom's Chicken Pot Pie

The one thing I'll say about the two self-styled anarchists whose protest against gentrification allegedly involved over $100,000 in vandalism of homes, construction sites, and cars in the gentrifying area of Philadelphia north of Northern Liberties is this: They don't live in the area in question. In fact, one of them, in his 40s, lives in a leafy Bucks County suburb, with his mommy. Doesn't mean they don't have a right to protest whatever they want to protest, but the gentrification issue is more complicated than they might think -- on the one hand, you have longtime residents forced out by higher rents, but on the other hand, you have homeowners seeing the value and equity in their homes skyrocket.
