Are gay people gentrifying areas of cities?

Nobody is saying others don't rehab houses. However gay people tend to be enthusiasts. Look at HGTV it might as well be a gay channel.

I don't think it's something that is happening now or will happen going forward. There was a reason gay people flocked to particular areas in the past, but now they just go wherever they want.

Most major cities have a neighborhoods that the creative class have gentrified...which includes many of my fellow LGBTQ community members...

Just here in Ohio...Columbus has both the Short North, Victorian Village, and German Village that were heavily gentrified by the gay community...Cleveland has the city of Lakewood along w/ areas like Tremont and Ohio City...Cincinnati has Northside, OTR, and a few other others.

Know it well. That's where one of the gay couples in my social circle used to live.

That could be but they will just take the skills they learned to move somewhere affordable or out to the countryside.it's not like you spend your life learning new skills and just go away. I have lakefront property on the UP of Michigan for example. My land equal in most every way is still desirable because of my knowledge of landscape architecture.

My neighbors have almost the same thing /ut they love riding ATVs. So they don't take their land to the next level. They don't care and neither do I. They are the type of people I like to sell to.
