In response to artist Charles Gaines’ claims that art spaces inevitably lead to gentrification, Slanguage Studio offers an alternative in which community needs are prioritized.

The presence of licit substitutes, such as electronic cigarettes, has the potential to greatly reduce the size of illicit markets.
We present a model demonstrating why enforcement can increase revenues in the illicit market, show that states with higher tobacco taxes …
