How often do you think about gentrification? Probably not often, unless it's happening right around you. I know I don't. And, even if you are witnessing it firsthand, you might not be against it. You might think that getting rid of those old run-down buildings and cleaning up the place is a good idea. But gentrification isn't that simple.
