Gentrification doesn't have to be a bad thang tho! 🙏
Most “opportunity zones” become an opportunity to exploit the neighborhoods where they’re crested. They’re opportunity for forces of gentrification to come into underprivileged neighborhoods, exploit them for financial gain & siphon the wealth created back out of the neighborhood

Correct, if it’s done in a way that uplifts the people who live in the neighborhood. But too often it’s done in a way that basically squeezes out the people who’ve been living in the neighborhood.
