The term “gentrification” might have been useful at one point but its current use seems to be something along the lines of “it’s ontologically bad when neighborhoods racially integrate and/or add amenities, but leftistly”

1. Residents demand action to stop rising rents and gentrification
2. Community members concerned by new housing proposal

Not building new housing (in ALL neighborhoods) is going to make gentrification worse.

The problem is that in NIMBY Left discourse "built a bunch of a housing" = GENTRIFICATION and TRANSPLANTS
what's so strange to me about this critique is that even if you concede that "build build build" puts money into the hands of people who benefit from the status quo, at the end of the day you have also built a bunch of housing.

Putting aside my feelings on the gentrification of mahjong, “"Paxton represents what they don't want from their husbands” is an incredible sick burn and also makes me worried for their marriages.

“We shouldn’t improve things” is indeed a trope in “gentrification” discourse. But -
To be fair, the book that bears this ham-fisted title actually has a nuanced, pro-bicycle take on the issue of bike advocacy and culture. It's good to consider intent vs. perception.

Gentrification is a real issue, but the solution is to build enough housing everywhere, so that prices normalize, discouraging it.

Gentrification, budget cuts and NIMBYism in action
I love all the weirdly specific lore of Wuhu Island in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. What happened to the indigenous people? Why was a lighthouse divisive? There were budget restrictions? How do they know so much about the sand? It feels both fantastical and grounded at the same time.
