Gentrification is a Mytyh - http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2015/01/the_gentrification_myth_it_s_rare_and_not_as_bad_for_the_poor_as_people.html http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/201... My city Allentown, PA has a very late white flight that occurred in the 80s and 90s. We had a donut economy where the suburbs had all the money and shopping and downtown was a rust belt city that had mostly mutli-family converted homes with low-income. We now have over $1,000,000,000 invested into Downtown Allentown. http://www.marketplace.org/topics/economy/american-futures/allentown-bets-big-shed-its-former-image http://www.marketplace.org/topics/economy/american-futures/a... http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/09/breathing-life-into-allentown-pennsylvania-comes-to-the-rescue/379742/ http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/09/breathin... Protesters claim of gentrification is happening. My stance is center city Allentown is not where we dump low income people and for people to have a "better life" they must move to the suburbs. You can have a "better life" and live in our cities. Our schools have an almost 50% transfer rate for children. This means that 50% of the children that started in September will finish their school year at a different school. I will take diversity over homogeneous non-gentrification. This word is to ambiguous and and not clear in telling anything.
