It is much better at agreeing with your boss than you are.

Lots of angry people in this thread. Do you all have conversations like this with people in real life?

My wife and I couldn’t afford to live in our own neighborhood if we were looking to buy now. We bought in 2019.

Same. Somehow my house has more than doubled in that time frame.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

It’s because there are so few Linux users and we barely get the chance to talk about it (at least in my case)

Gentrification even affects the rich. Welcome to the 1st world and it’s problems.

SCB ,

Gentrification is a good thing and being anti-gentrification is being pro-ghetto.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Wait, so you think the only two options are ‘gentrification’ or ‘ghetto?’

SCB ,

What does this even mean?

Gentrifying a place is investment of capital into formerly-poor areas in cities, and formerly-poor areas in cities were poor because they were ghettos, generally as a result of redlining, white flight, or both.

We should be gentrifying every inner city, subsidizing current-occupant rent as it climbs, and lifting people out of the ghettos we built.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

So you think every neighborhood with poor people in it is a ‘ghetto?’

SCB ,

No I think when you shove a bunch of “undesirables” into an area by literally not letting them get loans or see houses outside of that area, you create ghettos.

You may wanna give “redlining” a Google, and then search up the history of places you want to “protect” from gentrification. You’ll find the two are nearly always connected.

We owe it to the people who live there to financially apologize for the atrocities we committed upon them and their families in the past.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Now you’re suggesting every black neighborhood is a ghetto. Wow.

SCB ,

You literally could not take this in worse faith if you tried.

Frankly you’re coming across as pretty racist.

keefshape ,

Way to purposely take it wrong. Not obvious at all.

dragonflyteaparty ,

We should financially apologize for the atrocities and lift people up like you suggest, but that’s not what gentrification means. The other commenter was right. Gentrification means upgrading an area and displacing those who live there.

gentrification jĕn″trə-fĭ-kā′shən noun

  • The restoration and upgrading of deteriorated urban property by middle-class or affluent people, often resulting in displacement of lower-income people.
  • The process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces earlier usually poorer residents.
  • The restoration of run-down urban areas by the middle class (resulting in the displacement of low-income residents).

SCB , (edited )

Displacing people isn’t a requirement, it’s an externality, and one which I addressed very specifically.

Worth noting that even displaced people end up wealthier when gentrification happens.

bigboig ,

Dude, you need to google gentrification, it’s specifically a negative thing. You’re just using the word wrong.

keefshape ,

👆

Not_Alec_Baldwin ,

Gentrification comes from the root word “Gentry” referring to the upper or ruling class.

It’s literally the upper class moving in, displacing the lower or middle class. The word is classist by definition.

    Imagine responding to my comment so passionately without reading it at all, and ending up arguing for poor people to stay poor.

    What a fucking bizarre worldview.

    Gladaed ,

    Depends on your definition of gentrification. Most Americans do not associate renovation/upkeep/modernization but undue rent increase with minor changes to the space, I feel.

    Squander , in What is wrong with some of you?

    Professor: And Josh what is your thesis about?

    Josh: Urrmmmm ahh umm What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?

    Professor: Josh youre studying statistics.

    Josh: Yeah, naw Im going to graph it.

    In the Oneshot she wouldn’t often just sit quietly while panicking and glaring but would say weird or odd things trying to get a point across or ramble for the entire page.

    Also she ran him over with a scooter

    Kinda wish they stuck with the oneshot instead of Komi being silent 95% of the time.

    The poop pudding line is still the highlight of the entire series.

    InfiniWheel ,

    IIRC she still stood still internally while internally freaking out when speaking. But it was more like she had two modes, rambling and oversharing random stuff or barely saying a word and being kind of dumb.
