No filter / by Skovron, Kelley,author.(CARDINAL)882263;
"Janessa "Jinx" McCormick loves photography because it's like real life, except she can make it perfect. Using her late father's camera, Jinx takes photos for nearly everyone in her small town of Greenbelt, making her something of a local celebrity. But one day as she's touching up a new photo, Jinx sees...something in the background of the image. A shadow that she's certain wasn't in the frame when she captured the shot. Though it's too dark and hazy to see exactly what it is, the shadow looks roughly like a figure. And soon Jinx notices something even more unsettling. With each new shot she takes, the figure is always there. And it's slowly moving closer to the camera"--Page 4 of cover.Ages 8-12.710L

Yes to the city : millennials and the fight for affordable housing / by Holleran, Max,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The Bay Area and the End of Affordability -- Millennial 'YIMBYs' and Boomer 'NIMBYs' -- Between a Rock and a Greenbelt: Housing and Environmental Activism in Boulder, Colorado -- Exclusionary Weirdness: Austin, Texas and the Battle for the Bungalows -- YIMBYism Goes Global."A fascinating account of the growing "Yes in My Backyard" urban movement The exorbitant costs of urban housing and the widening gap in income inequality are fueling a combative new movement in cities around the world. These influential activists aren't waiting for new public housing to be built. Instead, they're calling for more construction and denser cities in order to increase affordability. Yes to the City offers an in-depth look at the "Yes in My Backyard" (YIMBY) movement. From its origins in San Francisco to its current cadre of activists pushing for new apartment towers in places like Boulder, Austin, and London, Max Holleran explores how urban density, once maligned for its association with overpopulated slums, has become a rallying cry for millennial age activists locked out of housing markets and unable to pay high rents.Holleran provides a detailed account of YIMBY activists campaigning for construction, new zoning rules, better public transit, and even candidates for local and state office. YIMBY groups draw together an unlikely coalition, from developers and real estate agents to environmentalists, and Holleran looks at the increasingly contentious battles between market-driven pragmatists and rent-control idealists. Arguing that advocates for more housing must carefully weigh their demands for supply with the continuing damage of gentrification, he shows that these individuals see high-density urbanism and walkable urban spaces as progressive statements about the kind of society they would like to create.Chronicling a major shift in housing activism during the past twenty years, Yes to the City considers how one movement has reframed conversations about urban growth"--
