In this episode of the This is Revolution Podcast, host Jason Myles and guest, Cedric Johnson, Professor of African-American Studies, delve into the Chicago migrant crisis and its impact on the black community. Amidst rising political tensions and controversies over resource allocation, they discuss housing insecurity, manipulation of migrants in political rhetoric, and the broader implications of housing as a lucrative commodity. Johnson also critically examines the initiations by black activists and organizations, while advocating for more progressive housing policies.
The episode offers an in-depth analysis of the transformational power of community participation in housing developments, the Austrian model, and the challenges associated with massive public housing complexes. By comparing U.S. housing policies with the layered state investment strategy of land grants, public participation, and subsidies, the discussion sheds light on the need for innovative thinking and an urgent shift in housing sector policy-making.
The episode also explores the socio-economic challenges faced by the citizens of Chicago. Rising rent prices, homelessness, and uncertain job prospects are put under the lens, highlighting the disconnect between these grassroots issues and the priorities of national political parties. The discussion raises poignant questions about the response to asylum seekers and draws comparisons with the aftermath of the Katrina disaster.
Throughout this deep and engaging conversation with Cedric Johnson, the episode explores the impacts of capitalist globalization and its associated mass migrations. Johnson urges Americans to reexamine governmental priorities, drawing particular attention to the discrepancy between stadium subsidies and the lack of support for public housing solutions. Tune in to this thoughtful analysis of capital influence on globalization, sports infrastructure, and housing in America.
