Gentrification In The Workplace

I think that gentrification is still getting worst and worst every day, The reason being is that the rent is always increasing and hasn't stopped yet. The impacts are that the population decreases in gentrified areas. And the ones who left are struggling to find a new home.

Gentrification is damaging neighborhoods because it forcibly displaces the lower income residents on the streets to make room for luxurious more expensive apartments. The term gentrification means to conform to middle-class taste, which is exactly what is happening to places like the Mission District, Placita Olvera Street, East Los Angeles, and many more urban areas. Not only are our neighborhoods being gentrified, but also so is our food.

Over the years, gentrification has been given many definitions from simply referring to, “…instances of new arrivals who were buying and bidding up old housing stock”, (Sanneh, 2016) to, “…disinvested areas of the city that are now experiencing rapid and significant increases in land and real estate values” (Jennings, Terrell, Douglas, Barnett & Harding, 2016, pg. 9) and many more. As noted previously gentrification is occurring throughout the world and the Midwest is not immune. The process of gentrification tends to go like so: visitors stumble upon a disinvested area that they take an interest in. Whether because the rent is cheap or the area is vibrant, they fall in love and decide to pack up their home and relocate. This scenario, from one point of view, can be seen as a story of a person deciding to broaden their horizon and see what other parts of the world has to offer. While the other point of view may see this as a possible financial burden, a cause for the major changes in the place they call their home and the likelihood of displacement.

During the past few years, gentrification has been on an uprise.“Nearly 20 percent of neighborhoods with lower incomes and home values have experienced gentrification since 2000, compared to only 9 percent during the 1990s.” Gentrification is happening in areas that supposedly need a change, such as the low-income neighborhoods in New York City, Minneapolis, Seattle and Washington, D.C.Factors such as uniqueness, accessibility, the energy of the neighborhood and reasonably priced homes attract gentrifiers. It has altered many cities in the country. Gentrification can be defined as the procedure of reestablishment and remaking due to the flood of prosperous individuals into falling apart and low-income areas that frequently displaces poorer

First, let's start with what gentrification is. Google defines it as “the process of renovating and improving a house or district so that it conforms to middle-class taste”, but the image Gentrification usually evokes when brought into discussion is hipsters moving into a run-down but charming neighborhood and transforming it into something completely different. What is a hipster? Some may call them the fairy godmothers of the once neglected area, and others may refer to them as the monsters that are displacing families to make an artisan beard oil shop, but we’ll touch on that later.

These changes in the neighborhood emphasizes the process being done by gentrification. Seeing these changes in the area may be difficult and unfair from a perspective of local people who have been there for many years but it is essential to recognize that Bay Area is one of the areas that has continued to improve economically and it has become one of the most expensive places to live in United States. In other words, replacement of local people and businesses are “just” because people striving for their economic growth and greater opportunity is inevitable because our society has become materialistic and if the local people were in position of gentrifying process they would do the same. Although Gentrification is justifiable, I believe there are room for improvements and changes in the harmful process. For example, the people who are in the position of replacement should respect the history of the city and inherit some of the cultures and create buildings that fits in the community and represents the culture. In conclusion, Gentrification is a justifiable process of changes and improvements that are ultimately inevitable but it is also essential to recognize and inherit the the values, culture, and community that the city has build over

The people who are getting moved out are low income families that can only afford so much. This fact makes it harder for them to compete with the rise in rent and mortgages. A study done in Pennsylvania finds that, “...this is a hugely important contribution- that gentrification ultimately hits hardest at the least advantaged and most economically vulnerable.” Gentrification occurs where people are less likely to stay in their homes after the values of the land and property increase. Allowing more businesses to pop up and crowding more people around until older residents move out and substantial ones move in. The more substantial

The gentrification of a neighborhood can bring the neighborhood down as a whole. It changes the neighborhood in a negative way. The many families who were displaced and driven out by the gentrification process took the great qualities which make the neighborhood a whole with them. The feeling of friendliness in the community was driven out with its old residents. You used to be able to walk down the street and see five or six people you knew to have a nice conversation about sports or the weather with turning a five minute trip to the supermarket into a 30 minute trip. This doesn’t happen anymore, the neighborhoods are being filled with more

Gentrification brings positive long term effects to communities and cities nationwide. Direct results of gentrification for both the residents and the city are the economical growth, local job opportunities created and a higher tax base available. (Stacey Sutton, Urbanly planning Scholar, defined gentrification as): Gentrification is the process of higher status people renovating lower class urban neighborhoods to satisfy middle-higher class standards (Sutton, 2015). In the process of gentrification throughout the United States, it is positively impacting the economy in more ways than one. One benefit of gentrification is the economical growth residents benefit from.

People don’t understand the unfairness of the situation, families are now not able to live in the very same area they were forced into and all because people want to live in a low cost area within walking distance to downtown. They don’t consider how their need for convenience can ruin another person’s life. People should be glad gentrification is happening in their neighborhood, sure property tax is rising but that gives them an advantage. Their property becomes very desirable and they can sell it for double or triple what they paid for it.

Demitress Ewers Mr. Vandyke English 103 04 February 2016 “Gentrification: Affecting the Poor” Imagine if you have built a life in a community for generations and big project developers push you out of the community. In today’s society, this would be labeled gentrification. Gentrification as a universal definition, pertains to the process of renewal and rebuilding, accompanying the influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces poorer residents.

Yet another effect of gentrification is its effect on senior citizens. Seniors often live in the same unit for many years. As a result, rent control has kept their rents well below market rate, and landlords stand to gain the most from evicting them. For example, in the Mission District of San Francisco, many seniors live on a fixed income, and cannot afford market rate rents once they are evicted. "They lack mobility, and have difficulty

Gentrification and displacement is not talked about as much as other social problems. Gentrification happens when rich people come to urban communities and change the socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of a community. Gentrification around the world is mainly happening in poor urban communities. The comparison of the Netherlands, London and Vancouver will explain cultural, social, and political displacement caused by the new age of urban renewal. Big corporations build up urban communities which bring economic stability to neighborhoods, and the low-income residents are forced out.

These are some of the alternative solution to posed gentrification at the city of Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles. So, have in mind that gentrification is controversial process. It’s clear enough that it only affect the urban development of the cities. But the problem of gentrification needs to be research more for feather results.

As a process, gentrification has had both a negative and positive impact on the society as well as affected the economic status of the involved countries or towns. As a way
