Gentrification appears to be a good thing but there is one thing but there are other factors to consider. For instance, what is going to happen to the residence can not afford to move elsewhere? I watch a video on YouTube about gentrification of the pier in the village in New York and how the individuals that go there are being affected. The majority of the people that goes there are of homosexual or lesbian orientation and they do not understand why there being ran away from the popular hangout spot. Again, boundaries were showing it ugly head.
I watch another video where individuals that are trying to assist those that are in the neighborhoods that going through the process of gentrification. The worker was speaking about what is happening to the residence of the area. There were a couple of comments made on the video and it was from individuals that clearly did not understand what those what was happening to people because they made ignorant comments. One comment said " Yuppie killa" and another said that the people should stop doing crack, get a job, and other disturbing things that almost made me want to respond to his or her comment. No one wants to live in poverty and that person said it like it was a life choice.
Overall, gentrification can be a good thing if there are opportunities are provided for the residence that resides there.
