mhm ya vandalism is an interesting one...the whole "graffiti fights gentrification thing" I've heard a lot, but interested in whether anyone's dived deeper into that ? Like have there been any more comprehensive writings? Anarcho Blackness by Marquis Bey dives a little into the idea of "unsafe neighborhoods" but was wondering if there's anything more.

The arson one is particularly funny cuz part of the motivation for this post was reading this article about how some people are speculating that arson (or at least the end product) is being used as a force for gentrification in San Francisco in the U.S.

But ya tenants organizing seems to be a pretty classic example. Just not sure where to start with that. Would love any resources about that.

Community land trusts are something i'm involved with but more deals with houseless encampments since there's more energy and activism and community than in most housed neighborhoods.

Oh you could be loud at around bedtime or just in general. Loud music shouting matches with friends, big parties ect.

Also doing some pro littering praxis is good.

It might be a bit liberal in reasoning but I think littering is actually preferable to taking it to a dump.

Using traditional garbage services is still horrible for the environment plus it means people don't really have to be conscious about how trash is hatful to our own lives.

By littering people myself included have to live with the consequences of our consumption. Sure it's bad just like garbage but one allows you to not acknowledge the harm you cause while littering makes you face the reality of your actions consistently.
