We all want the good sides of gentrification (jobs, safety, education, etc) but feel for the displaced in the process.

I didn't do anything today. But I am prepared to sell at a lower price to a family rather to a developer. I am (secretly) prepared to sell to a family that will increase the ethnic diversity of my neighborhood. I am prepared to vote for people who pay attention to that sort of thing - but I can't any, honestly. All local officials seem to focus on either woke or anti-woke values, and when in office, they're just keeping the status quo to go on to higher things.

Gentrification causes people to lack homes.

Why? Do they have fewer homes standing as a result? Do they disappear?

What did YOU do today to prevent gentrification, OP?

OP here. Exclusively patronizing very local businesses, sending my children to public school, not calling the cops over a party.

Which “very local businesses”?

Wow. What a shocking level of callousness toward unhoused people. Those same people who you call the cops on simply for existing!

Why would I want to do that?

Gentrification causes people to lack homes.

And it causes other people to obtain those homes. What's your point?

I encourage gentrification, as you call it, because it improves neighborhoods and makes them safer.

You can play a role today. Did you protest today? Did you donate to a mutual aid organization?
