re: Gentrification, good or bad... Thoughts?

plenty of white neighborhoods get new things and then property values rise

its just not called gentrification

its just call progress

"Progress" is often whitespeak for exploitation.

Notice that your example is "white neighborhoods get new things." This is not gentrification because it is improvement (a new Neiman Marcus), not displacement.

Gentrification is one group, more affluent and almost always of the dominant race, exploiting the disenfranchised and disadvantaged and gutting a long standing ethnic neighborhood.

What's funny is I used to think you weren't real, but you sound exactly like a girl I know who is equally as retarded as you.

In your opinion, what gives a group of people "more of a right" to be in a neighborhood than another group outside of property ownership?

When Jackson State University, an HBCU, received MILLIONS of dollars, they sought to expand the university. In order to do so, they had to displace many black, low-income residents. What do we call that?

I'm sure plenty of lower income white renters got pushed farther out into less suburbs

is that not displacement?

You are so wrong.

Hipsters don't have money, they don't shop at Goodwill just because it's hip. Their liberal arts degrees, lack of tangible skills and/or aversion to real, professional jobs don't equate to wealth.
