A global community or a global waste of time? Content analysis of the Facebook site “Humans of New York”
This paper explores how stories of everyday experiences in urban settings from around the world foster and sustain a community that seemingly transcends national borders. Given that both urban and online experiences are increasingly prevalent in modern life, surprisingly little attention is paid to how these experiences might foster a sense of community in an online setting. We use Facebook’s Humans of New York (HONY) site, analyzing over 130,000…
Is it all in the eye of the beholder? Benefits of living in mixed-income neighborhoods in New York and Los Angeles
Scholarly attention to mixed-income neighborhoods has come predominantly from studying the effects of federally funded housing policies, such as Empowerment Zone programs and the HOPE VI Urban Demonstration program, which was replaced by the Choice Neighborhoods program. These programs operate on the assumption that economic integration is beneficial to lower income residents. We believe that it is important to learn more about the already existi…
Inequality shaping processes and gated communities in US western metropolitan areas
This paper investigates the social dimensions of gated communities (GCs) in US western metropolitan areas and how they contribute to segregation. We use geographically referenced data of GCs, and introduce a local metric based on social distance indices (SDI). This multivariate spatial analysis investigates homogeneity in three aspects: race and ethnicity, economic class and age between 2000 and 2010 census. The results indicate contrasting effec…
Gated Communities and House Prices
Housing prices being one factor thought to contribute to segregation patterns, this article aims at differentiating gated communities from non-gated communities in terms of change in property values. To what extent do gated communities contribute to price filtering of residents, and do patterns of price differentiation favor gated communities in the long run? The article provides an analysis of the territorial nature of gated communities and how …
Segregation by Design
Gated communities have been thought to contribute to urban inequality, but empirical evidence is limited. This study utilizes the American Housing Survey for 2001 to examine the differential access of Latinos and Whites to gated communities in metropolitan United States. The results show that education is the most important sorting mechanism: as education increases, so does the probability to gate. On one hand, education trumps the effects of soc…
Gated Communities in the United States
Scholarly research about gated communities is a recently established field of study, because the significant proliferation of these communities has occurred in the last couple of decades. In this article, I argue that the seminal work of Blakely and Snyder (1997, Fortress America: Gated communities in the United States . Washington, D.C.: Brookings Institution Press.) gave the first impetus and the initial research directions in gated communities…

From picket fences to iron gates

Using the American Housing Survey for 2001 and Census 2000, I examine the link between gated communities and residential segregation. I hypothesize that gating and segregation are defined by similar mechanisms, thus reinforcing urban inequality in U.S. cities. The results, however, indicate a more complex relationship. On the one hand, there are common mechanisms behind the two processes: the pursuit of higher property values, fear of crime, and …
Gated Communities and Spatial Inequality
In this article we analyze gated communities as a nexus of social and spatial relations within the context of urban inequality. We apply Tickamyer’s (2000) Tickamyer, A. (2000). Space matters! Spatial inequality in future sociology. Contemporary Sociology, 29(6), 805–813.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar] sociological framework for incorporating space into the study of inequality, which allows us to substantiate the arguments that …
The Continuing 'Wind of Change' in the Balkans
The research in this paper explores the institutional changes in the housing system during the period of market transition in Bulgaria, which follow suit with the greater societal transformations. The societal changes are linked theoretically with Polanyi's understanding of the transition from a non-market to a market society. His argument helps in establishing the institutional context of the macroeconomic changes in the past decade. The article…
The Power of Property in Comparative Perspective
How Enduring Were the Inequalities among European Immigrant Groups in the United States
A long-standing and unresolved issue in the study of racial and ethnic groups concerns the persistence of initial inequalities among groups. Recently it has surfaced again in the study of U.S. immigrant groups, in George Borjas's (1994) claim that the human capital differences among early-twentieth-century immigrant groups are reflected in the relative socioeconomic achievements of their third generations. Reexamining this claim, we find that Bor…
