  • Summary Of Is The New Brooklyn Economy

    739 Words  | 3 Pages

    “The Borough’s residents paying more than 30 percent of their income in rent” (Bonislawski, pg.2, pp.3) Due to the “remodeling” of Brooklyn, the rent has drastically gone up. This is a way of purposely chasing out the poor to make room for the “trendies”. With the belief of a new and better Brooklyn will lead to more money and better neighborhoods, it feels like those that were born in Brooklyn are being forced out of it. A new source of capitalism has taken place, a capitalism based off of the “hip and trendy” in order to draw in the more financially efficient. “Trying to evade, principles of development is economically futile” (Jacobs.chpter1.pg8, pp.1) it’s true that we can’t continue to evade the new development of a environment because it will lead to an economic

  • Summary Of Is Gentrification Really A Problem By Kelefa Saneh

    769 Words  | 4 Pages

    Gentrification is the process of improving a struggling neighborhood for affluent people. One of the main causes of this shown by Kelefa Sanneh’s article “Is Gentrification Really a Problem?” , is the real estate market. Things that affect the value of something in a certain neighborhood can end up having a direct influence in all of the neighborhood and can lead to gentrification. The construction of a luxury apartment building can attract more businesses and in turn, more high-quality living spaces which could eventually displace someone living three blocks away.

    The average price of the condos on the waterfront went from $219,000 to $200, 000 in the past few months (Seward pg.2, 2015). This decrease in housing prices is not common, though. It is found that when gentrification occurs, the average rents in a neighborhood rises. This is due to new renters who come to these neighborhoods who can afford to pay higher rents which raises the rent (ICPH pg.2, 2009). Resultantly, this causes people to move due to the increased rent.

  • Examples Of Gentfication In You Don 'T Have To Live Like This'

    1144 Words  | 5 Pages

    In Benjamin Markovits’ You Don’t Have To Live Like This, the reader experiences gentrification and views it from several angles. Because Detroit is a majority black city, being about eighty percent black, the racial tensions are severely heightened through gentrification. In context, race truly makes the first crack in the foundation of the gentrification project. Through the use of stereotypes, Markovits analyzes racial tensions throughout the novel and therefore, better satirizes and negatively characterizes gentrification in the United States. Robert James as a wealthy white man plays a pivotal role in the novel because he provides the funds for the entire gentrification project in Detroit.

  • The Impacts Of State-Led Gentrification

    458 Words  | 2 Pages

    Gentrification is used by the government as a porssess which ensures that areas of social and economic underprivileged residents experience significant transformation through initiatives such as investments, developments and demographic change. These changes are notably beneficial for certain individuals compared to others, but specifically favourable towards the government and those of higher income families. Due to state-led gentrification these certain individuals of the area and the government receive benefits in several ways including an increase on the price of property and tax revenue, improved economic opportunities and overall neighbourhood improvements. Since the renewal to make these areas of low income residents more appealing to those of a higher income, property values and tax prices collected by the government have significantly increased. This is evidently seen through the rent and property increase within suburbs of Sydney where these economic pressures from the government have been put in placed due to the rise in affluent buyers in ceratin neighbourhoods.

  • Gentrification Code Words Essay

    455 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many proponents as well as advocates of gentrification like to use in many regard as code words to back up their claim that gentrification brings “revitalization” “urban renewal” and more importantly “enhances” the community. However, these are what many who are critical of gentrification deem to be “ code words”, because they appear to be ones that exude positivity when they are in fact not expressing the full story of the argument, because underneath this creeping positivity. There still exists this form of stereotyping that minorities, or those from lower socioeconomic means cannot create something that is unique or successful on their own. Furthermore, what existed in their communities before gentrification was one that brought little to no value to society.

    In order to understand our statistical data, we must first accurately grasp the definitions of gentrification and displacement. Gentrification means a demographic or physical change that conforms to the middle class. The financial definition of middle class means that a single individual or household makes between $50k-120k annually. Uniquely, displacement is the removal of something or someone by something else that takes their place. In our case, looking at gentrification in the San Francisco area within the last 10 years will possibly birth an explanation as to why Artist displacement is/was on the rise.

    502 Words  | 3 Pages

    Gentrification is the process of renovating and improving a house or district so that it conforms to middle-class taste. Real Estate investors usually take low-income places that they feel have a chance to prosper economically, and turn them into areas that attract the middle and upper class workers. In doing so they feel like the low-income areas will be safer and more appealing, attracting more people to visit and live there. An improvement to a poor district sounds beautiful, but is gentrification as great as it’s sought out to be? Many residents have their doubts about gentrification due to the idea that the costs of their living will go up and they will be driven out of their neighborhoods.

  • Gentrification All Bad Justin Davidson Analysis

    There has to be a realistic solution that can be put into motion to benefit everyone involved. Referring again to his article “Is Gentrification All Bad?” Davidson argues that urban renewal, if done right, is not a monstrous custom that it is painted to be; nevertheless, he reasons that gentrification depends on who does it, how they do it, and why they do it. As a resident in New York, a city where gentrification is as widespread as the common cold in winter, Davidson speculates that those who go into a neighborhood with the intention to renovate houses, or abandoned buildings ought to have a good reason for it. The author points out that “Gentrification does not have to be something that one group inflicts on another…” (Davidson 349), rather, he suggests that everyone, the gentrifiers and the locals, be on the same page when it comes to developing their
