Why should some young people who got lucky in a unicorn startup get to push out some old people that helped build that community?

- gaius 10y agoRight, this is why gentrification gets people's backs up. You're not just buying property as a physical asset, you're buying into the community that made that area desirable/up-and-coming/trendy/call it what you will. If they hadn't been there, you wouldn't want to be there either. But a piece of community isn't something you can own without contributing back to it, and if you don't, it destroys it.
