You differentiate it from nice, just asking how so

I phrased it clumsy. Not so much in the context of this discussion but when places gentrify rent and stuff usually goes up very quickly so it becomes unlivable for a lot of the folks that used to live there sometimes cresting every denser pockets of poverty somewhere else. It can be a double edge sword sometimes.
