I was just making the exact same comment to my husband, two seconds before I read your comment. And I agree with you 100%

I have some words for the gentrifiers but then again it’s best not to be kicked out of a group.

Not all of us. I for one love rotting buildings and vacant lots. I especially love them in the vicinity of the largest rail station in NJ, eighth busiest in the nation. I think it’s a great use of land to keep that area at exactly the density it is right at the time when I moved in. Anything is too expensive and offensive if I can’t afford it. I’ve never taken a course in economics, the law of supply and demand to me mean if the people demand it government must supply it.
