Now that you have done some background reading on this topic and watched some videos that present perspectives ranging from the scholarly to the historical to the personal, hopefully you have had a chance to reflect on this phenomenon some and think about whether you have seen its impacts, either where you live and/or elsewhere around the NY area. You have heard/read something in the assignments, also, about positives and negatives associated with the process or flow of gentrification, and hopefully you have mulled these over as well.
Please create a thread on this forum where you discuss your thoughts, observations, and/or experiences with gentrification. Where have you seen this process happen? What changes have you seen it bring — negative, positive, some combination of both?
