Fuck it, Urbanism hot take night, none of you bitches actually know what gentrification is
Those dilapidated warehouses being demolished and turned into a restaurant or an apartment complex is not gentrification
No, that man with a metrosexual haircut wearing airpods on the bus is not gentrifying your neighborhood, he is a person, not the American socio-economic landscape

It's when developers buy properties in cheaper neighborhoods that tend to house communities of color and refurbish them to rent for a higher price, and install new "trendy" businesses, and the process in the long term increases cost of living in the area until all the original inhabitants are priced out and forced to move, making it even easier for developers to flip properties. It's not exactly a hard concept to grasp. /End ID]
