Kevin, there are people who live in East Liberty who have worked their asses off and suffered the ill effects of gentrification not once but twice. Why have they suffered? Because huge corporations that they can't possibly compete against are coming in and the city's sucking their dicks like it's their job. And don't ask me "where is East Liberty?" Use some of that time that the "luck" of your birth gave you and google it.
