I'm starting this thread given the inability to post directly to the news post of the same name. There are some really interesting points brought up here about how granular separation/segregation can become along with a fine grained and seemingly invisible byproducts like displacement. Granted there are outside agents that impact this dynamic, but it still points to who you are designing for as Woofter points out, along with the comment Freitas makes about architecture being economic, environmental, and social.
This is an interesting parallel to the post about a comic strip being used to encourage millennials to move into the Homewood neighborhood of Chicago. Seemingly the goals are the same, but the Homewood comic is a different sort a stabilization campaign, and attempt to attract residents (and presumably shore up the tax base), whereas Shaw is a question of how residents are being isolated and priced out.
