PASSAGE
Passage 1
Gentrification can revitalize neglected urban neighborhoods, bringing new investment, businesses, and improved infrastructure. Property values rise, crime rates often fall, and the area becomes a more desirable place to live. This process of urban renewal is a positive sign of a city's economic health and growth.
Passage 2
The process of gentrification often displaces long-term, lower-income residents as rising rents and property taxes make the neighborhood unaffordable. It can erase a community's unique cultural character, replacing local businesses with generic chains. The benefits of revitalization are often not shared by the original inhabitants.
