I remember Kenyatta Johnson was fighting for his constituents against gentrification. Or at least that's how he positioned it in the community. A quick google brings this up though [1]. Yikes selling land to specific buyers and he can't remember the deals?

- exelius 10y agoKenyatta is fighting to make sure he stays in office - gentrification would change the skin color of his district, and that puts him at risk. But his district is full of abandoned houses, burned out lots, and general urban blight that's just too close to a whole bunch of already-gentrified areas: gentrification will happen whether he fights it or not as UPenn expands south.
