I don't understand ppl complaining about gentrification

Idk what it's like around u but around here, they take homes that are almost condemned, fix them up, and sell them for maybe a little bit above the neighborhood average. I see these homes before and after. I see what they buy them for and what they sell them for.

The homes are still in the regular price range for the neighborhoods, maybe a little on the high end but definetly affordable.

It doesn't stop ppl in the area from affording to buy these homes. And Idk how it destroys culture because of that.

Yeah u lose a old house in ur neighborhood because it needed to be fixed up.

What wrongs with this
