Except for the fact that the true middle class has already been displaced from city centers already, the current debate is between those who are/were working class and those who are upper middle class/upper class (but aren't necessarily the 1%). Where historically, this population had used their same political power that they are using now to gentrify neighborhoods to systematically deny access to the suburbs to people of color and lower income people forcing them in cities.
To fight against community displacement because it's a current trend for rich people to want to live in city centers isn't a war on the middle class necessarily when it comes to the long term, because said trend could easily reverse again.
