Those poor people will lose their small homes and then have no where else to go. If those low income people have a small or large business in the area then they might lose that as well because it might be bought out by newer and better things.]]> 2018-02-09 12:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rosearnell1/lacaoxbt46fy/wish/229985901 https://padlet.com/rosearnell1/lacaoxbt46fy/wish/229987150 Due to gentrification, poor people that live in the same old neighborhood their whole lives are being forced to move out of their small, dirty home to an even dirtier place.

Just a new place to shop. It's a truly vicious cycle that has more debuff's then benefits.

Some people are good people but just can't afford other places get homeless and then people steal stuff for money so they can get homes. One of the reasons people steal stuff in poor neighborhoods is because they need money.

On the other hand, gentrification is bad because it forces people out of their own homes that grandparents and great-grandparents lived in, and forcing people to go to even less fortunate neighborhoods.]]> 2018-02-09 12:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rosearnell1/lacaoxbt46fy/wish/229988091 https://padlet.com/rosearnell1/lacaoxbt46fy/wish/229988125 The corrupt government supports this and claims it helps poor and small communities.

These middle-class people who have buying power are moving in to lower class areas and trying to fix them up for the better, this however raises the prices for lower income people and is very unhelpful for their living.

After that starts happening, people lose homes and the government loses even more money.

They ask the people in the neighborhoods if they can increase taxes for making buildings better. Of course, they don't have the money to spare.

From surface, neighborhood improvement looks good, I mean, they're trying to improve a community. However, it remains only advantageous for the people gentrifying. Unfortunately, it actually has a really negative effect on the individuals living in the communities. Most of them are already poor and can only afford these houses.

They're continuously living in these cheap, second-rate houses or apartments because of the  affordably low rents. When gentrifiers start moving into a lower class neighborhood, the already low prices for the houses and taxes increase. Then the current residents who cannot pay for the new, expensive changes have to leave.

Gentrification allows people to experience diversity. They can live in communities with different backgrounds and they can be exposed to a new variety of food and architecture. On the contrary, gentrification kicks people out of homes. They've been in one place they've possibly known their whole life, and, due to gentrification, they have to move out and leave the only place they've known.
