Title: Urban extinction: gentrification and the erasure of the home
Abstract: e sat down at the grubby table in Welcome to the Johnsons, a dive bar located on Rivington between Delancey and Essex on the Lower East Side of New York City. It was a bizarre collection of people: myself, my brother, his ex-girlfriend, his current girlfriend, and her friend Sean. The latter was a man I had never met before who was wearing a studded black leather jacket, Doc Martens, and a buzz cut. Welcome to the Johnsons is a cool place. It’s an old punk bar that has a strong resemblance to a stoner’s basement and doesn’t look like it’s been redecorated since the late 1970s. Tacky wooden paneling, multicolored Christmas lights, even a Ms. Pac Man, and old sports trophies are scattered around the place.
