This visualization and caption advance ethnographic insight by confronting two very different historical narratives—one, a white supremacist romanticization of a neighborhood, and two, the systematic targetting of SRO buildings to transition them to privatized land using oppressive and coercive tactics against low-income, racialized tenants. The image’s sentiment is bold as it creates the effect of the blurring of both histories, while the orange targetting of SROs suggests a violence in how particular buildings undergo systematic forced evictions.
