Abstract

This article reframes the current housing crisis in Oakland, California as environmental injustice and as an ongoing effect of racial capitalism. It also highlights recent examples of citizen-led land reclamation, which it argues retaliate against city-sponsored erasure of precariously housed residents and offer the potential to address economic, racial, and environmental injustice simultaneously. By disrupting the status quo of real estate price gouging and visibly reestablishing community on Oakland’s streets, these movements demonstrate alternatives to the capitalist dehumanization and manufactured scarcity at the heart of Oakland’s housing crisis.

这篇文章将加州奥克兰目前的住房危机重新定义为环境不公和种族资本主义的持续影响。它还强调了最近公民主导的土地开垦的例子，认为这是对城市资助的对居住不稳定居民的清除的报复，并提供了同时解决经济、种族和环境不公正问题的潜力。通过打破房地产价格欺诈的现状，并在奥克兰街头明显重建社区，这些运动展示了奥克兰住房危机核心的资本主义非人化和人为稀缺的替代方案。
