Opportunities for whom? The gentrifiers moving in or the original residents being priced out? The locally owned businesses that can't afford the new high rents or the national retailers who pay too low for their workforce to live in the now gentrified city they work in?

I think balance is key and I'm happy that we don't have runaway gentrification like so many people on here dream about. Growth and change is healthy and, like someone pointed out, there is room for more people but it shouldn't be at the detriment to others. And that's what the "Ghetto Lobby" is fighting for - balance.

And I don't understand why people still point to this "Ghetto Lobby" when clearly lots of development proposals get approved. It's like when Trump kept brining up Hilary Clinton years after anything she did had any relevance.
