I used to think that too, but then my friend pointed out that it just shifts the problem elsewhere. This is DC, not SF, but the gentrification of DC has meant that a lot of problems (as well as longtime DC residents who can no longer afford the rent) have simply been pushed out to PG County.
- nilkn 13y agoIt's the unfortunate nature of gentrification. It's also multi-layered; it's not just the middle class pushing out the lower class. The middle class is actively being pushed out of central hubs like San Francisco and Manhattan by the upper class (which is exactly why places like Oakland are themselves gentrifying in the first place).
