Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Mike Davis documented the way that growth coalitions sought to keep poor African American and Latino populations from spreading into spaces deemed historically important by allocating tax subsidies to favored developers and by excluding groups representing the city's poor communities from taking part in decision making on urban planning. He documented strategic investment in favored neighborhoods and a set of policing and land-use policies designed to keep the poor and racial and ethnic minorities out of these areas. He also cited the city's removal of homeless shelters and mental health facilities from neighborhoods where wealthy property owners wanted to develop new real estate investments.
