First, let's define it.Gentrification is a housing, economic, and health issue that affects a community's history and culture and reduces social capital. It often shifts a neighborhood's characteristics (e.g., racial/ethnic composition and household income) by adding new stores and resources in previously run-down neighborhoods. This structure allows the wealthy to put their children in their well-funded public schools while leaving low-income families and students concentrated on their own, usually under-resourced schools. Among a myriad of other issues which include displacement, cultural erasure, and a spike in the cost of living, especially for underserved communities.Some of the benefits of gentrification include reduced crime rates, improved infrastructure and economic growth.
