Unless you lived in a city that has gone through this within the last 30 to 40 years, or an expert urban planner, then I don't think you are too qualified to speak on this.

Again with the housing market being the way it is, a lot of gentrification projects have stalled and a lot of people are stuck in the middle, for some it's worked out and some others not quite so. You have people who planned on making money flipping houses in gentrified areas because they knew they could make a quick sale and now they are stuck with houses they can't sell or have to sell for less than what they invested in so please, dispense with this 'it works out for everyone" BS.


...and let's try not to make this another thread where it's all about "GC vs talking some sense into a brick wall (Kevin)" thread.
That's how I got my house! The guy who rehab'd my house made exactly $1000 for the two years he spent working on it! Sucks to be him...of course, once I bought the place, I could see at what point he figured out that he was screwed. Foot prints through the stain on my stairs, handrails screwed into drywall only, doors that won't open...I could go on and on!
