I never understood this, why do people hate gentrification?
- sotojuan 10y agoI don't dislike it. I like cleaner streets, more cafés, more stores that take cards, amenities, etc. I do dislike my rent doubling in price. In NYC, both go hand in hand. For now since I just finished college, I'll take my super low rent. There's nothing "wrong" with where I live anyway. For a non-selfish response, Sunset Park is one of the few neighborhoods where most people people are working class. Indeed, most of the cooks, dishwashers, etc in Manhattan live here, sometimes many in one apartment (to be able to afford it). I can't imagine where they'd go if the area gentrified.
