Not the parent poster, but I certainly reject the concept of gentrification, or at least reject it as something to be avoided.

- CathedralBorrow 7y agoThat's fair. And you presumably get that other people can have a different opinion so you probably wouldn't be flabbergasted when someone wishes to avoid gentrification. That's what I'm curious about re: parent poster.
- sangnoir 7y ago> I certainly reject the concept of gentrification What do you feel about non-resident Chinese nationals investing in real-estate in your city & driving up prices? I noticed HN tends to be ok with gentrification if it's done by well-paid geeks, but not when the same group gets priced-out.
