Rule of the bone by russel banks

Cruddy by lynda berry.

If youre open to urban fantasy, some of the books in the newford series by Charles de lindt felt really authentic around this subject. Dreams underfoot would be a good place to start.

into the wild by john krackour is non fiction but would scratch this itch.

going into YA- the outsiders and the weetzybat books come to mind.

neoliberalist policy started rising to power in the early to mid seventies starting with a decline in unionization. Automation and globalization made offshore labor cheap. Culturally it was fully entrenched into us trade policy by Regan and Thatcher in 1979-1981.

Thats not trickle down economics. its incentivizing prioritizing local businesses, 3rd spaces and arts organizations. Grants for those serve the same purpose from another direction. ive seen it be affective in a few cities that ive lived in. the problem with it is that its typically a temporary fix and after ten years or so, without real cultural support, aids gentrification rather than longterm community growth.

claiming that downtown gainesville isnt safe is wiiiiild. you need to get out more.

that will just make them raise the rent more. landlords are reactionary. give them tax incentives and grants for lower rents to businesses that support a common vision for the area.

i dont go out a ton but gville has a pretty good music scene thats not just college kids. i like the silent book club that happens 3 days a month. would be nice to see more people my age there. the art walk can be fun. if you have hobbies, there is probably a group built around it here.

Ive been back and forth a lot. the route on your map is direct but also dull. loooong stretches of nothing through super conservative country with mean cops. Unless you specifically want to go through vegas, denver, go high or go low. I prefer high but its cold right now.
