American Suburb
Gentrification is changing cities across America, forcing people from neighborhoods they have long called home. Call them the displaced. Now those priced out of the Bay Area are looking for a better life in an unlikely place. American Suburb follows this migration to one California town along the Delta, 45 miles from San Francisco. But is this once sleepy suburb ready for them? KQED’s Devin Katayama and Sandhya Dirks explore that question, taking us into the ordinary spaces of suburban life to find extraordinary stories about race, poverty and belonging.

American Suburb informs
In-depth and multifaceted, the show goes for a complete examination. Nobody else is doing this in-depth reporting on local and regional issues. Provides perspective that allows listeners to be much more aware of the antecedents to events they read about in the news.

One sided
Nothing journalistic about this podcast. A left wing slanted story of "reverse gentrification" full of the same old played out narratives on race in America. You are not missing out by skipping this one.
