[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's lack of understanding of the nuance. Let's start with "gentrification". The progressive push I've seen is against displacement and biased improvement - i.e., white people are benefitting more significantly than Black people in DC. It's not to stop economic development and revitalization, but to do it in a way that benefits people who have been historically disadvantaged. Does that help at all?[/quote] With gentrification, those property owners see an increase in the value of their properties. You can't change how individual buyers and sellers operate. Rather than trying to cram more residents into Ward 3, DC should spent public money on improving the infrastructure, schools, and parks in Wards 7 and 8. That will improve immediately the character of those areas. [/quote]
