I think the best way to avoid gentrification is to reduce income inequality. Gentrification often does not make the community better. The original residents' favourite businesses close, unaffordable options take their place, and the culture changes. I doubt most new people who move to these neighbourhoods want to change the neighbourhood culture or displace the original residents but it happens regardless. If there was less difference in wealth between the rich and the poor, that displacement wouldn't be so extreme.
