If it is any consolation, this should help reverse the trend of gentrification that is pricing a lot of people out of the ghetto.

I absolutely love gentrification, as a matter of fact I was part of the gentrification of Bed Stuy Brooklyn. As a result of my actions the city is now collecting property taxes and the utility companies are more profitable. Also more opportunities for businesses and more jobs have been created.
I see gentrification as a cleansing of the dead wood of the ghetto. I also think it's a good thing for the dead wood. A wake up call if you would, to get off your butt and go to work and be productive members of society.
