+100 Gentrification does bring uplift.  Charters transcend boundaries that historically drove segregation.  Charters are typically far more diverse in terms of race and SES than the typical DCPS school.  Gentrification brings services and attention to neighborhoods that have been ignored and neglected.  Gentrification brings jobs.  Yes, gentrification drives property prices up - but the key is in adaptation and seeing it as an opportunity.  There are those who will take advantage of the better educational opportunities, the jobs and other things that come with gentrification and they will be uplifted.  Yes, the ones who don't see the opportunity and take advantage of it will likely end up pushed out - though, there are many places where it's far cheaper to live than DC anyways.  It's evolution.  Humanity didn't get out of the stone age because we ran out of stones, humanity got out of the stone age because we learned there are better ways to survive and thrive.[/quote]
