People seem to feel very smart for pointing out things that look and feel like gentrification without actually really understanding what gentrification is. I found this article from a couple years back illuminating: https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/the-look-of-gentrification https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/the-look-of-gentrificati...
> This conflation of modern architecture as a “gentrification style” was so common that low income builders began erecting signs explaining they were affordable housing.
Also, this article is frustrating because it’s explicitly just trying to make some clickbait out of a couple tweets the author saw, presumably from a random people who don’t know what they’re talking about.
