"in which case you're contributing to gentrification"
I guess keeping poor neighborhoods poor is a good think now?
- paulhauggis 12y agoThere is nothing untruthful about my statement. Butt-hurt people are down voting it...the usual for HN.
- scintill76 12y agoYeah, I also don't understand how buying a house within one's own means is gentrification. Is the definition of "afford" different between your "very poor" neighbors and you, the "software engineer"?
- scintill76 12y agoOK, I guess maybe the original point was that there are super-cheap and super-expensive houses, and software engineers could afford something in between. They have to choose a poor neighborhood where they are wealthier, or a reasonably-priced but distant suburb.
