Daly City - PanelOn Tuesday, Jeremy Villaluz, Sonny Vegara, and Dawn Mabalon were on a panel talking about Daly City, specifically how it has become the home of many Filipina/o families, and how gentrification is affecting the community. There were many layers to conversation. Just as Jeremy said, Daly city is this suburbanized area for white people and once the brown people moved in, the white people left. Which Dawn mentioned how white neigborhoods is what keeps property value up. Hence, many places in the bay area are getting gentrified, and more white and tech people are moving in, pushing many families out. Especially many Filipino/a families in Daly City. Jeremy, Sonny, and Dawn also gave a brief history of the late 60s and early 70s and why nurses and medical technicians were very popular at this time. They also talked about how Daly City is known to be this "dead" place. In addition, there showed a couple of Jeremy's art to further get their point across.
