Well, the way it usually goes is nonsketchy POCs, LGBTQ folks, and poor folks turn it into something livable, and then the other people that are used to being generally accommodated in society and aren't at all used to getting their asses beat and broken move in and act like they have always been there.

no, it’s usually young blue collar artists and craftsman (regardless of race,identity,ect) who decide to be urban homesteaders. You don’t need to part of any group to fix up an old row house or run when you figure out that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze
