What are the problems gentrification brings? Isn’t fixing up a neighborhood a good thing? How can gentrification stop?
In: 9
A poor neighborhood doesn’t need a Whole Foods, or Trader Joes, they need a basic discount grocery store. They don’t need high end bistros and wine bars, they need dinners and family restaurants. They don’t need tennis courts and skating rinks, they need a basic part with a couple basketball hoops and a field to run around in. The problem with gentrification is you aren’t fixing up the neighborhood with things the residents need you are fixing it up with things rich people want.
