Idk. I just can't find it in me to see anything wrong with gentrification.

Living in these areas, it kinda gives you a combo of to see what kind of transformation and improvement these areas sorely needed and over the unnecessary rise in cost of living because out of towners get fleeced thinking everything has to be expensive, especially rents.

It's good for property owners in the area - property value goes up. It's bad for poor people cause they're pushed out of their existing neighbourhoods.

This city is constantly under construction.

Cool gifs.
It's happening in Westchester County where I live.
Slowly but surely, people are moving 1 hour, 2 hours north of the city to places like Poughkeepsie and Newburgh because they can't afford the homes and rents here.
You can barely find a 1BR apartment in my town for less than $1,500 now.

Yah, it's getting so expensive. The key is to find potential in an "up-and-coming neighbourhood" and invest there...then watch the property value increase over time.
