Gentrification is a shift in an urban community toward wealthier residents and/or businesses and increasing property values.

It is commonly considered a negative change to urban communities.

A video representation of gentrification:

Quotes from those who oppose gentrification:
"Thanks Gentrification! Taxes grew, landlords raised, ethnicities dispersed,... Now we're the best ballers on the block!" - Anonymous, sarcasm from a Caucasian POV

"...the motherfkin’ Christopher Columbus Syndrome. You can’t discover this! We been here. You just can’t come and bogart. There were brothers playing motherfkin’ African drums in Mount Morris Park for 40 years and now they can’t do it anymore because the new inhabitants said the drums are loud. My father’s a great jazz musician. He bought a house in nineteen-motherfkin’-sixty-eight, and the motherfkin’ people moved in last year and called the cops on my father. He’s not — he doesn’t even play electric bass! It’s acoustic! We bought the motherfkin’ house in nineteen-sixty-motherfkin’-eight and now you call the cops? In 2013? Get the fk outta here!" - Spike Lee



How do you feel about gentrification? I'm curious of your responses.

they're arguing that it's
1. ruining their culture
2. forcing them to move to other neighborhoods because they can't afford to live their anymore (which is in turn a domino effect because as they move out, the land is occupied and re-purposed for higher income)
