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.  [b]People who live in SFH neighborhoods want exactly that. [/b] Very simple.  [/quote]

Some do. Some don't. Different people have different opinions! Very simple.[/quote]

It’s not that simple. [b]The majority of people who live in sfh neighborhoods don’t want mixed use housing.[/b] There are lots of places that are already mixed use and have density that can accommodate more of it without needing to change the zoning for existing sfh neighborhoods. [/quote]

And you know this how?

The majority of people don't want change, period. The majority of people who were there before the neighborhoods were built didn't want the neighborhoods to be built.[/quote]
