>> a tolerance for breaking the law
I think in most of the neighborhoods that I have seen and lived through being art-gentrified the existing residents had a far higher tolerance for breaking the law than the artists.

So that I have heard "since that building in Oakland..." but that's just because it's a recent case. The pattern of which administration said what and who got sued is more indicative that things will be just business as usual in a few years. To be fair also, "that building" was compounding many of the possible options for killing people by fire: terrible wiring, floorplan, floorplan construction materials, decor materials, and escape routes ... in which it was running a music event (dark, crowded, people unfamiliar with the venue and to the venue)... upstairs.
