re: Mayors Discuss Ways to Stop Gentrification

I just don't see the big deal with gentrification. I mean, take my old neighborhood for example. When I lived there, it was a decent middle-class area and about 70% white.

Now, it's about 95% black, it's run down, and crime is rampant. And it's been like that for years now.

And I moved from there in 1998, so that was a drastic change that happened in only about 10 years.

As some neighborhoods see gentrification, some neighborhoods see the opposite. Neighborhoods change.
