I always kind of assumed there was a constant gentrification effect in cheap NYC neighborhoods because young people are price sensitive, no matter what their race or profession.
Ethnic neighborhood is cheap ->
Young professionals start to move in ->
Integration begins ->
Businesses that cater to young professionals establish themselves in the neighborhood ->
Landlords slowly but steadily increase rent ->
New immigrants and children of existing ethnic tenants move to a different, less expensive neighborhood
