Description
San Diego, California, is frequently viewed as a model for American urban revitalisation. It looks like a success story, with blight and poverty replaced by high-rises and jobs. But David J. Karjanen shows that the much-touted job opportunities for poor people have been concentrated in low-paying service work as the cost of living in San Diego has soared. He documents how, over a period of three decades, San Diego's urban transformation actually eroded the economic standing of the city's working poor.
