For some reason, these threads always end up with you bashing me personally for whatever reason. As if my excellent financial security, good job, great wife, nice yard, meager trust fund, well behaved dog, etc. have a damn thing to do with anything here.
Tell me this, o relative of a victim of gentrification, what did your mother do to help stave off the criminal element in her neighborhood? No doubt she raised good kids, , but aside from that, Anything?
What have you done?
You did nothing, then blamed the development companies for taking advantage of a strong demand for urban housing and depressed property values... As if you couldn't or shouldn't have seen that coming thirty years ago.
I guess it boils down to this -- the same folks who you apparently think of as victims are folks I think are deserving of their situations. They should have fought the conditions which led to the blight or they should have moved out before their property values were dramatically affected. That's the reality of "white flight," a nasty term which is easier to say than "middle class exodus" or "non-criminals not wishing to live near criminals." In most cases, you're talking about homeowners who in retrospect have made excellent decisions to get out while the gettin' was good.
