Never understood the opposition to gentrification -- are people looking at NYC in the 1970s and thinking "yes, that's the urban ideal right there"?

- woodruffw 4y agoI think the thought is closer to "NYC is pretty close to ideal right now, and I don't need a combination Starbucks and Lululemon in my neighborhood." Which, of course, it actually isn't! But nobody really wants to return to 1970s or 1980s New York.
