The Real Villain in the Gentrification Story

 

"The" gentrification story?

 

Presumably the one-dimensional cliché of well-to-do young opportunists flowing into poor(er) neighborhoods and driving out preceding populations.

So if more units are built overall, there will be less pressure on the neighborhoods that tend to gentrified? Interesting.
