[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can play a role today. Did you protest today? Did you donate to a mutual aid organization?[/quote] People who protest gentrification are the one who wants everything be racially segregated. [/quote] And those who protest gentrification presumably also oppose upzoning. Both involve changing the character of a neighborhood against the wishes of its residents. Of course, with gentrification, those with homes in historically cheap areas benefit from substantial increases in home value (i.e., wealth creation), so they have a financial upside. And, no, property taxes do not increase that quickly, as property tax increases are subject to annual caps.[/quote]
