How do we get the good parts of gentrification without the bad? Is avoiding the bad really worth freezing an area in amber?

  Is there good parts? Then again this forum is for those doing the gentrifying. So maybe it is wrong place to ask...

    Depends on if you are a part of the crime rates that go down or not. More seriously: lower crime, more services, reduced infastructural and service strain, higher income, and an area made more desirable. The very hard part would be getting only the good, to bring in investment and raise incomes of individuals across all individuals at a neighborhood level instead of just importing richer people. The levels of sudden life changes required frankly suggest mind control being involved.

      "Importing richer people" is just one part of it, you're also freeing up housing elsewhere which allows greater upward mobility there. Their income also brings more opportunity with them.

    Gentrification is good for you if you own property there. If you are a renter, not so much.
