Heron Gate and the Financialization of Rental Housing
From: Resisting Eviction
$1.50
Chapter 6 examines Heron Gate’s owner and landlord in more detail. Crosby takes a deep dive into the world of financialized real estate investment within a broader context of housing policy and deregulation to understand the gentrification strategies deployed by these newer types of apartment investors. Crosby conceptualizes financialized gentrification in conversation with the various investment strategies and tactics that financialized real estate unleashes in the built environment, including a new trend of intensification.
