Gentrification is a form of immigration, though almost nobody calls it that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think there are some very evil things about gentrification.
People who gentrify are usually new transplants to a city, changing it to suit their particular cultural needs and whims.
I have lived in this city my whole life and have seen the way gentrification has changed it. I'm not necessarily against transplants, as 75 percent of my good friends, roommate, and boyfriend are not native New Yorkers.
Gentrification always makes me laugh. People complain about traffic. Live in Atlanta! You can't have it both ways; you can't live in an incredible city and not expect it to get congested.
Immigration is one of the leading contributors to population growth.
Immigrants are people who leave one country, one society, and move to another society. But there has to be a recipient society to which the immigrants move.
Gentility is what is left over from rich ancestors after the money is gone.
In many cities, it's become popular to hate 'gentrifiers,' rich people who move in and drive up housing prices - pushing everyone else out.
Immigration is a gateway basically. It's a check-off point for Latino voters.
Working on the film really made me confront my opinions about change and gentrification.
