[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any people who oppose gentrification have any issues with displacing poor white people from urban enclaves in places like Fishtown or Canton? I’m assuming the same people who are tossing around words like “privilege” in this thread don’t find much time to examine their class privilege. Maybe I’m wrong...[/quote] The difference is that historically even working class white people have had the opportunity to obtain mortgages and buy their homes whereas working and middle class black people were redlined and denied mortgages even if they could afford them. Displacement and gentrification in working class white areas is still a concerning issue, but they have also had a much greater opportunity to secure their place in the neighborhood via homeownership and profit off of displacement by selling their homes instead of being forced out by rising rent with no financial windfall from selling.
