Maybe you can explain how the big boogie man DeSantis is doing it? This is a national problem. Rents in most states have surged and you can barely touch a 1 bedroom apartment for $2000 a month. But do keep on hating on the best governor that Florida has ever had.
The gov is two faced but he’s only focusing on schools and trying to rule over 6 yr olds. No, he’s truly trying to make Fl a Mecca for his wealthy friends.
Bill heading to Governor DeSantis’ desk may cut affordable housing trust funds
The Florida Housing Coalition said it is facing an affordable housing shortage of more than 344,000 homes. The Coalition said gutting the housing trust funds will only make the problem worse.
It's a positive in that the upper middle class - instead of endlessly sprawling out into the exurbs - remain in the city, which helps property values and tax base.

Where do you want the middle lower class to live, if I may ask?
Sometimes it can be. One notable example is the Kenyon-Barr section of the West End neighborhood in Cincinnati, which was a low-income, largely African-American neighborhood to the west of downtown. The city's redevelopment plan cooked up sometime in the late 1940s called for "urban renewal" in the area, which ultimately translated into leveling the entire neighborhood and transforming it into an ugly light industry/commercial area, renamed Queensgate.

Where ever they can afford. That is kind of how it works. My wife and I were stuck in a lower middle class area, until we started making more , saved and moved out of the city and to a semi rural higher valued area.
Where they can afford? You know, like everyone else?
Lmao. They were at where they can afford. You think they can afford the suburbs? They have mass trans out there? Let’s be real here. You don’t know - nor care.

You and how many more ? How many neighbors were able to come up higher ? The city usually means walkable or mass transportation is available. I seriously believe with this thinking and over priced housing we are going to have a serious homelessness problem.

Maybe you can cut them a check to help them with the rent?
At least I'm honest about not caring. People not being able to afford where they want is not my problem.

Sorry, what does this have to do with me ? We are all responsible for our own well being. Life isn't fair, and never will be. And this country already has a homelessness problem.
I don't think gentrification is a problem, what is the problem is corporations buying up homes and trying to control prices of them.
