Gentrification | : | |
When "urban renewal" of lower class neighbourhoods with condos attracts yuppie tenants, driving up rents and driving out long time, lower income residents. It often begins with influxes of local artists looking for a cheap place to live, giving the neighbourhood a bohemian flair. This hip reputation attracts yuppies who want to live in such an atmosphere, driving out the lower income artists and lower income residents, often ethnic/racial minorities, changing the social character of the neighbourhood. |
It also involves the "yuppification" of local businesses; shops catering to yuppie tastes like sushi resaturants, Starbucks, etc... come to replace local businesses displaced by higher rents.
Gentrification is a term with inherent class connotations, and was coined by the sociologist Ruth Glass in London in 1964;
"One by one, many of the working-class quarters of London have been invaded by the middle-classes - upper and lower. Shabby, modest mews and cottages - two rooms up and two down - have been taken over, when their leases have expired, and have become elegant, expensive residences....Once this process of 'gentrification' starts in a district it goes on rapidly until all or most of the original working-class occupiers are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed.

Maybe next year.

In response to Sue Coy's post... In a green effort... I would be in
favor of posting ALL Bios electronically to save on paper... and allow
any candidate as much or as little bio space. Not only could the bios
posted live on a website (i.e., TWDC or other...) The library offers
free online access and maybe could post as public access one (1) print
copy of each candidate's bio on a billboard for anyone/all who may not
be internet savvy...Let our tax dollars and public officers help save the trees!!!
