I am a professor of #urbanstudies at Georgia State University in #Atlanta. I do work on #affordablehousing, #housing, #housingpolicy, #gentrification, #segregation, #realestate #finance, #urban, #urbanpolicy
I advocate for policy change.
My most recent book is #RedHotCity from UC Press (2022) more at https://www.danimmergluck.com
Please boost if you’re so inclined! Thanks!

Short @[email protected] video piece on Atlanta, @[email protected], and #gentrification, #exclusion.
Was a bit worried about a CNBC video. But I am glad I was in it, and glad @[email protected] is. Without us, it might have been pure boosterism.
