STREETS CONSCIOUSNESS P. X: GENTRIFICATION



"We want decent homes
So dreams we say out loud like speakerphones just to keep em on"

"Gentrification and urban gentrification denote the socio-cultural changes in an area resulting from wealthier people buying housing property in a less prosperous community.

To some degree we all bear witness to gentrification; right here in america's backyard.

By overall observation, those of lower economic social class suffer the hardest in the process of gentrification; just by this acknowledgement, this serves as one inspiration for any person from any class to take advantage in a land of economic opportunity, systematically or by means of personal legitimate entrepenuarship: even in a designed capitalist society. Below are two examples of national gentrification, one in atlanta georgia, and east harlem nyc:
