This word does not exist in Baton Rouge. People don’t gentrify. They just leave and build some shitty cookie cutter in LP or Ascension.
I’ve seen what true gentrification looks like in major cities and BR NEVER gets that.

Can you really blame them? Why stay in BR to be one of the first to rebuild a shitty part of town and then have to send your kid to private school when you can just live in a nicer neighborhood in Ascension or LP and save the cost of private school. Particularly in light of the fact that staying in BR would mean you are subject to a city government who thinks it's a good use of public funds to develop a multi-million dollar bus route that NO ONE actually needs

or leave the state if intelligent.
what's the desired outcome of said project? what is the best case scenario?
5-10 NBR residents per week use this route to attend LSU or their job at LSU?
Who runs the cost benefit analysis on these NBR revamp projects? There is hardly 0 benefit to the city of Baton Rouge.

Gentrification happens when the cost of land or buildings gets so high that it is cheaper and easier to move into a shithole than building elsewhere.
While land and building prices are going up, people would rather sit in gridlock for 4 hours a day than live in the middle of the hood dodging bullets every night.
