[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gentrifiers are better than slum lords, they are not there to take away, they are in a way investing in homes, lives and neighborhoods. There is no need to pitch locals and newcomers against each other, they should be encouraged to work together as both have same objectives, having safe and pleasant neighborhoods where people can focus on their individual struggles and triumphs.[/quote] I look at places like the Wharf and the reality is that it created far more jobs of all types than were on those pieces of land before development, it also for example created 98 affordable ($533/month) apartments for people at 30% income level when there weren't that many prior on that land prior to development. https://www.wharfdc.com/building-our-community/providing-affordable-and-workforce-housing/[/quote]
