Do you think it's a good or bad thing?

good for New Orleans...
bad for suburbs...
we talk about how St. Bernard is trashy, how Metairie is declining, and how the Northshore is too far ad nauseum. now put displaced NOLA thugs in each of those places.

Nothing wrong with a bunch of affluent honkeys.

White flight occured and the city was overrun by crime and deteriorated. I can't imagine that bringing the money back in would hurt the city. There will be side effects as the ghettos will be displaced to other areas, but it may turn New Orleans into a "normal" city. One where the bad side of town is in one place and the good side is another. Right now its all intertwied and is kind of an every other street thing. Hopefully it also pushes it far enough away from the tourist areas that it's not a threat.

When is the process of increasing the value of property and influxing middle and upperclass people into shite neighborhoods and rebuilding and renewing communities and entire sections of the city ever a bad thing?
I have absolutely no idea how people can argue that you should just leave these neighborhood like the Bywater and the marigny alone forever because if anyone with money or a vision for a better neighborhood or community moves in there it might displace some people.
The absolute insanity of that thought process is amazing really.
Someone explain to me the argument against gentrification. Is it just "if we dare try and elevate a community some people will not be able to still live there?" Rather than try to infuse and community with fresh money and ideas and improve it as a whole we should never touch it because some people might get lost in the shuffle?
And these stupid fricking hipster dipshits in this city right now, who are moving here from I assume Seattle, protesting the city park golf course and actively protesting the rebuilding and renewing these great old new Orleans neighborhoods, going so far as to vandalize property when it is built, need to take their gauges and tattoos and artisan coffee and go back to the north.

When your working class can no longer afford to go to work. I don't know the solution, but I know a lot of cities are currently facing the problem of blue collar workers being forced out of the cities by higher rates. In New Orleans you have a huge service labor force that barely makes it by as is. New Orleans public transit blows donkey dick. How are those people going to get in to the city to work?

You think the people getting displaced in new Orleans right now are "working class". Have you lost your mind?

I believe I still have my mind. You asked when gentrification can be a bad thing. I responded with a situation where it can be a bad thing.

It says "Nashville" under my user name, so that'd be a safe assumption.

I think even with gentrification it's still a a city under sea level that's just one big bowl filled to the rim with piss and bums. It sucks what's happened to the burbs especially Kenner brah.

The people being forced out don't work. The people being forced out still believe the city and the government blew the levees up in katrina

I think it's a free market and people should stop whining about their property values increasing.

I lived in New Orleans for 3 years, and BR for 8 years prior to that. I was an urban designer and have a fairly good grasp on the city. But keep thinking I don't know what I'm talking about.

I think it's a good thing, but it can/will/currently is being used as another tool in the belt to call people racist.

Is that like saying you're in corporate sales when you work at Walmart trying to sell direct TV subscriptions?

So, what you're saying is, you went to Nashville and took a job from a Nashville resident who had lived there his whole life?
Why didn't you think of the economic impact of the people living there?

Just shorter to say than landscape architect and urban planner.
