Gentrification was happening in NYC long before the term was coined.

Park Slope was probably the first neighborhood in Brooklyn to undergo true gentrification when the yuppies started coming in the 70s.

I was going to say this but I thought it was the hippies first then they sold to yuppies, or maybe the hippies eventually became yuppies.

Exactly! Gentrification is just a hip word for change. Gentrification/change has been happening in NYC since NYC was a city. Remember, nothing in the universe stays the same; everything keeps on changing.

At the end of the day, if you don't own your property then you can't complain about gentrification/change.
