However, as Isaac points out, gentrification is a necessary condition for such phenomenon. As many as four old-school pubs I used to go to in Bristol - in predominantly deprived or non-student areas - closed in less than a year, while I lived there.

Also, great to see a central London hidden gem

Such a great piece, indeed. I certainly felt identified with his hypothesis about why some young people love the "novelty of the old" characteristic of old-school boozers. I remember the Marquis of Granby, in front of Goldsmiths, also as one of those traditional pubs, loved by some students.

El 18 de marzo de 1871, el pueblo parisino proclamó la Comuna,cuando todo el gobierno había abandonado la capital francesa. Lefebvre le dedicó uno de sus trabajos más excepcionales, que curiosamente precede a toda su producción teórica urbana. Fue traducido al castellano por @katakrak54.bsky.social

This piece explains in a nutshell the staggering failure of capitalism to address the climate crisis. “No capitalist,” Marx wrote, “ever voluntarily introduces a new method of production… so long as it reduces the rate of profit.”

Similarly: new, clean technologies won´t be deployed if they´re not profitable: “We’ve known it to be a strategic vulnerability for a long time, but it’s so capital intensive to build the midstream processing [which includes storage and transportation],”

The signs of liberal institutions weakening GHG emission mandates are becoming clearer. In other words: a strategic sector such as the automotive industry cannot be forced to bear losses for a long time (at least, not under the current economic regime).
