[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Long term residents should benefit when property values go up, but a variety of government and private actions have prevented Black people in particular from building wealth, which means they don't own their homes. [/b] Then neighborhoods become desirable and White people move in. And they transform the neighborhood they move into through not just displacement but also culturally - e.g. complaining about Donald Campbell's go-go music. Until you fix the theft of generations of wealth from Black people gentrification will always just be perpetuating that theft.[/quote] So who owned the homes in the historical less desirable neighborhoods that have been gentrified over the last 10-15 years?[/quote]
