Gentrification

Gentrification: the process by which poor black neighborhoods become rich young white neighborhoods, usually fueled by greedy landlords wishing to exploit the greater upward mobility of whites.

Gentrification increases homelessness.

Urban renewal is another way of saying gentrification.

Gentrification is a process carried out by landlords and developers, not by tenants.

Labour's manifesto contains the wild promise of 'war on the private landlord,' but this may conceal a real determination to use the powers of compulsory purchase to prevent the existing residents of places like North Kensington being driven out by the twin forces of 'gentrification' and development.

Who told you to buy a brownstone on my block, in my neighborhood, on my side of the street? Yo, what you wanna live in a Black neighborhood for, anyway? Man, motherfuck gentrification.

In particular, the focus is on property value changes and gentrification in Portland that are often attributed to urban growth and containment policies within the state.

I went to a large national forum not that long ago where about six hundred local government officials, nonprofit and neighborhood development corporation staff met to discuss the gentrification of urban neighborhoods. The irony is that the forum quickly shifted to discussions on race as it frequently does when gentrification is discussed.
