In my opinion the way that the word "gentrification" is used in the US is rooted in racism. I am middle class with a professional job and salary, yet when I moved to Inglewood it wasn't considered gentrification. But some white people that maybe have jobs as baristas or artists can move in and people will call it gentrification. Gentrification is supposed to be economic but ends up being more racial.
But at the same time retailers will be more receptive as more whites and Hispanics move in. So it's partly economic. Of course that's racist as well.

Everything is racist.

They are, or certainly have a greater right to be their than the white interlopers.

What are prices like over there right now? I'm in Eagle Rock. 1250 sq ft down the street just sold for $632. 1200 across the street sold for $725 last year.

You are the most naive and real world ignorant person I've ever had the displeasure of having encountered if you're a real person.

I'm not in Inglewood anymore. I moved downtown a bit ago. But I'd guess that Inglewood prices are in the $400/square ft range. Maybe less. So less than eagle rock. Probably less than highland park, which is also gentrifying isn't it?
Edit to add that I rented. That's why I don't know prices.

But you have to admit that the weather machine chemtrails threads are excellent entertainment.

Great, I moved into an up and coming neighborhood, not good when I moved in. Now it's all young families and money in my pocket

Highland Park is definitely gentrifying. It's nice to see all the new stuff out that way, but dang traffic and parking is getting to be a nightmare. My sister and BIL have realtors come by probably every month trying to get them to list their house.

HP used to be ruled by the avenues. They're still there but not like before. Even after it started gentrifying it was no place for us because of them. But I was there a couple years ago with no problems.

Yeah, I typically stay in my little bubble most times. It's not too safe for me either

I'd say the good outweighs the bad but I wouldn't expect the people who are about to get priced out of the neighborhood to share that view.

young white people nowadays aren't afraid to live in urban areas. what's happening in New Orleans now is simply white people moving back into a majority black city that as recently as 50 years ago was majority white.

The Heights has been gentrified. Past tense.
True. I am not sure how long we are talking about. Heights was never anything for me. In my single days pre 2000 The Heights was certainly nowhere to be.
Spring Branch is trying to gentrify now. But that is a tough area. There is a lot of bad retail space that has to turn over along with homes. You have a cluster of $750,000 brownstones next to crack houses.

Let me get this straight...if whites move into urban areas and raise the value in the area that's bad......if whites move away from urban areas to get away from rising crime that's also bad.

Correct. The whites have to go in and fix the urban houses and charge less rent. It's the only plausible solution.

The argument on the other side is that culture is being sacrificed.... What does that even mean?
Surely you understand if buildings are all getting rebuilt and made anew. And the neighborhood is getting nicer the rent goes up. Residential and commercial alike. This can force not only the typical resident, but also local shop owners out.
When a locally owned coffee shop becomes a Starvucks, or a little antique shop becomes an Apple Store or a longtime owned corner store becomes some kind of yuppy juicing froyo BS, you lose some of the culture.
