Ok so I know that the thread is kind of old but Im new here and was just reading the thread. A lot of people seem to think that there is no other gentrification going on in the city outside of downtown. One poster even said that Cleveland has been going through gentrification for 20 yrs and that we are so behind because it just started here. Most of the non Cleveland natives were saying that besides the difference in the downtowns the cities are the same. My comment towards that is 1. no actually gentrification in Detroit actually started a couple of yrs before the reccession just slowed down due to the reccession and 2. If Cleveland has been going through it for 20 yrs and the most of the city still looks the same (allegedly since I havent been to Cleveland in a long time) it cant be light yrs ahead of Detroit.
