For over ten years, public housing in New York City has been undergoing privatization and revitalization efforts that place tenants’ securities at risk while presenting a facade of progressive housing: mixed, diverse and inclusive communities. Recently, these efforts have picked up pace and scale, signaling a near complete transformation of public housing into commodified housing, and a transfer of public land to private hands. Organized tenant movements highlight the violence of these ‘land grabs’, and articulate an embodied knowledge of precisely how the state’s possessive investment in whiteness, through property and real estate wealth, extends into home and everyday life. Significantly, the simultaneous thefts of home and land take place via visions of urban space characteristic to urbanization today - socially mixed ‘communities’ selling a lifestyle of racial inclusivity - that covertly forward racial capitalism’s intersecting systems of race, class and gender exploitation while overtly, and rather unsuccessfully, presenting facades of diversity and racelessness. This article asks: what conditions of racial-spatial ordering persist whiteness as property today, as seen through the dispossession of racialized tenants, the rampant commodification of home and everyday life, and thinly veiled performative misrecognition? I draw on my documentary research of the political-economic restructuring of public housing, interviews with tenant leaders and housing advocates, and my personal experiences supporting organized tenant movements. Highlighting the organizing work and demands of tenant movements unhides the systematic erasure of non-commodified housing and ruptures facades of inclusivity in development led displacement.
