Has gentrification always had negative connotations?

[Narcoleptic Rowlet]

Yes, increased housing prices are a concern but why do people get so angry about business and homeowners using their own money to improve the atmosphere and aesthetics of their community? There’s nothing virtuous about living in a ghetto.

I've only ever heard them complaining about it to say "white people evil". Otherwise it's perfectly acceptable.

Nothing negative about it, other than the fact that it brings in the fags.

I'd rather a Starbucks than a shitty abandoned gas station any day.

That reminds me of an article mentionning a guy in a 'hood in Detroit who want his area close to gentrification. https://www.clickondetroit.com/news...ign-gains-popularity-in-detroit-neighborhood/

The sign read, “Hood Closed to Gentrifiers” -- addressing a big concern among inner-city neighborhoods across the country.

The man who created the sign is known as Bryce Detroit. He said police took the sign down. For him though, it’s more than just a sign, he says it’s a campaign -- and he’s about to take things up a notch.

Bryce Detroit calls the city’s North End neighborhood home.

“I would describe it as a neighborhood that is steeped in history, steeped in legacy,” Bryce Detroit said. “In particular, Black art and cultural economy.”

Because of his love for the neighborhood, Bryce Detroit had the gentrification road sign installed across from the Historic Apex Bar.

It's mainly because the LGBT community was chased into the slums and can't be bothered to learn how to coexist amongst regular people without being insufferable, along with the usual minorities being unable to afford the higher housing costs.

And also, you have gangbangers who want to get away with the drug trade in the slums.

Not really, when they developed Tama New Hills, people were in favor of it. Now it’s an shithole.

It depends on how it happens.
There were times when landlords purposefully let low rent buildings go to shit just to force residents out so the building could be renovated and flipped for huge profits. That’s not cool.

It didn't used to. I always thought it's essentially the reverse of when slum lords would move into a more affluent area.

It's all part of a cycle really. Take a nice area, slum lords move in. Property prices drop after a long time, the they get sold to developers. Then after a while the prices rise and it gentrifies. Then a couple of properties fall into disrepair, then the slum lords move in again and the cycle starts anew.

I don't know what the problem is, but the solution is to remove California from the USA, deport everyone not black in California to the USA, then deport all black people into California. Both the white ethnonationalists and black ethnonationalists will be satifsied and the USA will become stable for at least 2 months.

It's simpler to just wall off California and cede it back to Mexico.

While we're at it, let's go a step further by blowing the San Andreas fault.

It's great for everyone who benefits, higher property values and less poor people which means less violent crime, drugs and that kind of thing.

The only people I hear idolize poor areas are those that have never lived in them.

Worse than that, the activists try to ‘lock-in’ the current demographics of neighborhoods as if that was the way they always were.

Reality check is that most of these neighborhoods were rarely majority-Black, Latino, or Asian to begin with.

It sort of reminds me about that story about some missionary who created a writing system for the Cree Indians, but then they retroactively claimed it was theirs all along as revealed ‘by the spirits’ or something like that.
