Too Long; Didn't Read
Gentrification is a loaded term that is seen in both a positive and negative light. On the one hand, gentrification raises the value of property enriching existing house owners, on the other hand it pushes the price of rentals up, driving out non-house owners who may have lived in that neighbourhood their entire lives. One place that has experienced massive change over the last 2 or so decades is Brooklyn. Gentrification has driven up property and rentals so much so that even the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Captain America, despite being an Avenger, indicated that he could not afford to stay there.
