tion of short articles focused on gentrification, public space, and community voice. The articles were written for Streetvibes, a street paper in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 2015 through 2019. The focus of Streetvibes is homelessness, so each article focuses on different aspects of homelessness and inequity in Cincinnati, much of it centered around the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of Over-the-Rhine.

The housing crisis has been especially pronounced since the 2008 economic crisis. Since then, millions of Americans have been thrust into homelessness and removed from their homes.

Steal the Street provides a solid foundation to interpret current events and helps us to consider a different future, one without homelessness.
