I mean…when areas gentrify, they become cleaner, have more amenities, and are able to attract uhhh more “higher quality” residents which then results in things getting cleaner/better etc and the cycle continues.

Obviously there are huge impacts to the community when this happens and people end up priced out, but that’s just life. If we want nice things, we need people that can pay for them. When we get nice things, people want to live there, high demand = high price.
