I love gentrification. I wish there was more of it instead of crime infested trashy neighborhoods run into the ground by democrats.
Cleaning up and investing in neighborhoods shouldn't be demonized.
The toxicity on this issue comes from Leftists' dual obsessions with anti-capitalism and race hustling.

Lmfaooooooo at all the thortards thinking building up a community is bad... hahaha
Except the thing that separates gentrification from building up a community is that it displaces the people who were there.
You guys are equivocating making organic and real improvements to a community with replacing the community. The former is great, the latter is gentrification.
I live in an area that had real improvements made and as a result the people living here were also the ones living here in the 70's before the laws making it illegal to live any further south were repealed. It is real improvement and the people who lived here then are the same ones that live here now. This is not a case of gentrification. If the people had been rapidly priced out of the area and the neighborhood was now all white, that would have been gentrification.
