nah Gentrified- renovate and improve while displacing the post (not sure if Im using this in the right context) generational community. usually affecting Black and Brown ppl.

Gentrification = “ we will give you the resources your neighborhood needs...after we kick you out.

That definition is flawed. For one, gentrification almost always has a racial connotation. For example, no one would consider it gentrification if some middle class blacks moved into and area and inadvertently pushed out some poor blacks.

Also, it's not really about middle class tastes. After all, gentrification most often occurs with wealthy whites pushing out poor blacks.

Actually no

Gentrification = the process of renovating and improving a house or district so that it conforms to middle-class taste.

I can only give you what the Webster definition is. Whatever definition you got from the Sputnik radio podcast. I cant help you with.

I know what the term is used for. But that doesn't take away from the actually definition.

Like the definition below it entails a concept of the definition but not the actual definition. Adding in the "deteriorated urban neighborhoods" and "more affluent residents".
Gentrification is a process of renovation of deteriorated urban neighborhoods by means of the influx of more affluent residents. This is a common and controversial topic in politics and in urban planning.

I feel you, but connotations matter. At this point, it would be irresponsible to leave out the racial and classist aspects of gentrification because those things matter in the practice even they aren't always intrinsic to the motivations behind gentrifying efforts.

Why rich people never move south? Dont see the point of being rich and living where it snows.

why move south when you can buy a house in the Caribbean and have a place where it snows and where you get sunburn?

PG County is an excellent case study on classism. Yes there are some nice parts, some really nice parts but they stay secluded as fuck from the rest of the county aka the parts right on the DC line. I grew up in PG, but I'm from Suitland Rd. Ask any of the posters here about Suitland, about Kentland, Seat Pleasant where Kevin Durant is from, Largo, Landover, Swann Rd, Silver Hill, Temple Hills, Forestville. I can name a ton of places in PG County that if you were to see you would say "How in the fuck is this one of the places where the richest black folks in the country live with this poverty?" I'm not even trying to glorify where I grew up on some "I made it out the hood shit" because that always was stupid to me, but I'm also aware of where I grew up and when I mention PG County people not from here often think of the "Richest black county in the country" shit and expect me to be one of these bougie brunch eating transplants that done moved here and fucked the city up.

Yeah, the school situation is annoying. It's the one thing that really makes me regret moving from Alexandria. Living around black people is cool but not at the expense of my children's futures.

“Gentrification is a perpetuation of structural violence by recreating settler colonialism on a micro level by displacing poor PoC communties.

Gentrification recreates white supremacist settler colonialism on micro scales and is aided by local officials privatizing public assets.”
