Comment on The first step of gentrification is that the people that protest gentrification have moved in

Meh, that’s me. I don’t so much protest gentrification as much as I want to work to ensure my neighbors can continue to live here and reap the benefits themselves as the neighborhood improves. You can’t convince me that the people who have lived here for decades want to live in neglected, under-developed, under-supported, neighborhoods.

Indeed, I agree with you fully. My observation was that the people complaining about the gentrification overlap heavily with the early waves of gentrifiers.
