Description
La question du logement permet d'éclairer de nombreux aspects des redistributions spatiales qui s'opèrent dans la Baie de San Francisco sous la pression d'une forte immigration asiatique et hispanique. À Oakland, la politique de logement du maire Jerry Brown vise à redynamiser une ville économiquement sinistrée en attirant des populations blanches et aisées dans le centre-ville, profitant de l'envolée des prix dans la région de la Baie. Les premières améliorations visibles de l'économie restent toutefois dues au contexte global de croissance, mais aussi peut être à la personnalité, voire l'appartenance à la « race » blanche de Jerry Brown. Le succès à long terme de cette politique est moins évident et risque d'avoir des conséquences importantes pour la population, poussant les plus pauvres hors de la ville et contribuant à la dilution, déjà largement amorcée, de l'électorat noir.
Immigration and Urban Geopolitics: Housing Policy and Minorities in Oakland, CA.
The housing issue is an interesting window into the multiple spatial redistributions operating under the intense pressure of Asian and Hispanic immigration in the San Francisco Bay Area. In Oakland, mayor Jerry Brown's housing policy intends to revitalize an economically depressed city by attracting wealthy white populations into the city center thanks to skyrocketing housing prices in the Bay Area. The first signs of economic recovering in Oakland are certainly due to the global context of economic growth but probably also to Jerry Brown's personality if not to the fact he is white. The long term success of his policy is less certain and is likely to have tremendous consequences for the population like pushing the poor out of the city and participating to the already started dilution of Black electoral power.
