Reply to comment by Bartleby_TheScrivene in Fishtown, Point Breeze have become far wealthier in the last 10 years and other new Census findings by Dryheavemorning

Gentrification doesn’t fix that either. They end up not being able to afford the neighborhood and the cycle repeats when they move into another impoverished/ low income/ working class neighborhood.

In order to not have this happen gentrification has to be done very carefully. And it’s often not done that way in the name of $$$$

Nice opinion piece. Please show me how many inhabitants of fish town are pre gentrification. And where the ones who couldn’t afford it moved.
