Relevant and timely
A friend recommended this after I shared ‘Good White Parents’. Solid reporting about how a community in the Bay Area is changing rapidly beyond the cities we often think of.

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.

A must listen!
Everyone should listen to this podcast. This is the story of gentrification, displaced urban communities vying for the American Dream in Antioch, a place where for long time residents their version of the American Dream was disappearing.
This is a California story that all of us in the Bay can relate to personally. This is a California story that is happening all over the United States. I hope they do Fairfield next.

Interesting and thought provoking!
A raw approach to the gentrification issues we see happening in our cities but rarely talk about. Glad to see there is someone giving a voice behind the stories that may not have been told otherwise.

Good content, bad voice
I like the content, but can't listen to the female host anymore. She sounds like a kardashian. I am unsubscribing.

Balance and nuance -- just what we need
A must listen in 2017!! Reporters Sandhya Dirks and Devin Katayama do a fantastic job of balancing both sides of a difficult and provocative story. This podcast presents a clear, informative picture of how policy decisions changed the cultural landscape of suburban America. Keep it coming... love this show!

Really well produced show on a difficult subject
I really wish there was more reporting work like this out there. It's really well produced and clearly carefully reported and put together. Kudos to KQED for taking on these stories in a nuanced way.

The silent majority in east county
I loved the podcast and you bringing to light this conversation that this county has been having for a long time. Although I agree with everything you spoke about, as someone who grew up in Brentwood, I was disappointed by some of the language used in the podcast. “People of color” to describe African American’s makes perfect sense in terms of the narrative you were writing it completely forgets about the Latinx community that is grossly forgotten about in Brentwood and Antioch.
I just wish that this community would have been talked about as well.

Look out whitey....
...you're being replaced with people who don't look like you. I have to keep asking myself if non-whites think about anything else but race.

I can't stop thinking about this.
We've heard the stories about neighborhoods that have been gentrified so many times. THANK YOU for telling the story of what happens where people end up.

So far so good
I'm only on the third episode but so far this is well produced and is really delivered well. It has been great In gaining some perspective from a different point of view.

Gentrification is good for economy.
Sorry ,but this sort of misplaced anger is nothing but foolish.
This is how the world works.

Insightful report on a nationwide phenomenon
The three reports on the changes to Antioch, CA provided me information I didn’t know before. The story is the same throughout the cities and suburbs of the US, as we continue to deal with the perpetual phenomenons of white flight, as well as black migration since 1865. I want to know more about the Bay Area and the history of these phenomenons along the entire West Coast, thanks to your first set of insightful reports.

Great Podcast!
This podcast is very relevant to what is happening all over the Bay Area. Thank you for personalizing this important topic so it clearly shows how this issue is effecting all those involved. Keep them coming....
