What is Gentrification?

in philosophy •  7 years ago 

So you mean that it would, in a way, kick out lower class families who cannot afford the new "improved" homes?
This is the downside.
Hopefully instead it will create a surplus supply of bette housing therefore causing the prices to remain affordable.
Not likely though, real estate and land ownership is a VERY profittable business and I don't see that changing. Could a nonforprofit step in and buy? I can hope
