The hipsters have gentrified all the bad areas in the USA. All the ghettos where the gangs hang out now have Starbucks and other hipster poo poo.

i think hipster gentrification is great. why? well, it calls the rappers on their bullshit that life is so hard in the ghetto. that it's so loving dangerous. that you have to be tough to survive these mean streets. today, skinny white kids live in america's "worst ghettos" with impunity. check mate, tupac. up yours, 50 cent. gently caress you, the game. we called your bluff. your move.

I can almost guarantee you that Baltimore is not even remotely as dangerous as the Wire showed it to be. The hipsters there probably have Starbucks on every corner too.

If you're white and have a liberal arts degree while living in an urban center then it's mandatory that every day you have to ride piggyback on a homeless person around your put cigarettes out on them.

on the one hand it perpetuates a cycle of exclusion. on the other hand, richmond was the murder capital in 1997, and now we have artisanal donut stores, so i think i like it

Gentrification often develops during a combination of crises. Under conditions of social stress, such a movement may form under the leadership of a charismatic figure. This leader may have a "vision" (or "myth-dream") of the future, often linked to a coffee shop thought to be overpriced and actually kinda lovely. This leader may characterize the present state (often imposed by their affluent parents or colonial capitalist regimes) as a dismantling of the old social order, meaning that social hierarchy and ego boundaries have been broken down. Contact with colonizing groups brought about a considerable transformation in the way indigenous peoples of Detroit have thought about other societies. Early theories of gentrification began from the assumption that practitioners simply failed to understand the ethos of hard work, colonization, or capitalist reform; in this model, gentrification is a misunderstanding of the trade networks involved in resource distribution and an attempt to acquire such goods without having to get a real job. However, many of these practitioners actually focus on the importance of sustaining and creating new social relationships, with the acquisition and operation of overpriced technical baubles being ancillary. Since the late twentieth century, alternative theories have arisen. For example, some scholars, such as Kaplan and Lindstrom, focus on Europeans' characterization of these movements as a fascination with manufactured goods and what such a focus says about Western commodity fetishism. Others point to the need to see each movement as reflecting a particularized historical context, even eschewing the term "gentrification" for them unless there is an attempt to elicit an exchange relationship with the poor.

I dunno if it's mainly irony posting or just really dumb people itt. Yeah property values going up isn't a bad thing if you own the place you're living in but in most urban centers where people talk about gentrification everyone is renting so property values increasing just means their rent goes up. Pretty much the only thing they get in return for this rent hike is having boring stem majors live nearby and maybe a shorter walk to starbucks. I'm from seattle and have a bunch of friends who live there still and it's really sad to see how quickly rent is skyrocketing as the demographics change. Soon the city will be nothing but pasty white dudes in their 20s and 30s.
