03: Opportunity Zone

Economic Refugees, Chronic Homelessness and Outro

The episode concludes by framing chronic homelessness as a result of "economic refugees" displaced by Opportunity Zones and gentrification. Using a Monopoly board analogy, the hosts describe how the "last stops" for poor people are being eliminated by elite interests. They emphasize that the "common enemy" is an elite class that views the working class as an inconvenience, regardless of race.
