[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] People understood intuitively before we changed the term “gentrification” to “upzoning.”[/quote] Gentrification and upzoning have different names because they are different things. Chevy Chase Lake was upzoned around the future Purple Line station. If you told me Chevy Chase Lake has been gentrified, I would laugh out loud.[/quote] Gentrification and upzoning both involve the changing of a neighborhood's character against the wishes of the residents. People who live in SFH neighborhoods want exactly that. Very simple. [/quote] Agree. I wouldn’t say it’s gentrified either but at the same time the prices of existing housing have kept going up and the new apartments are very expensive. Just another example of YIKBYism not delivering what it promises. [/quote]
