Not sure why you're being voted down. SF is a crazy place where "gentrification" is a bad word.

Not sure why you're being voted down. SF is a crazy place where "gentrification" is a bad word.
- brevityness 14y agoNot as bad as in Berkeley.
- Symmetry 14y agoPresumably they're objecting to "hope the gentrification raises property value substantially for the home-owning locals who've been here for years". Which presumably was the opposite of what the poster meant to write.
- bps4484 14y agois the opposite what he meant to write? It was always my assumption that he was correct; gentrification raises property values, so "home-owning locals" make money off of their real estate value going up, while renters will be potentially pushed out (or stay and pay more in rent). Am I missing something?
