      and this is why i can’t take the term “gentrificiation” seriously, it’s only ever used to stop things from improving, and only ever used by people living in shitty places rife with systemic oppression.

      I never hear people say this shit in the nordics, here we give places lovely makeovers and everyone just goes “ooh, nice”

      You realise the goal is that everyone in a city should have access to public transport and nice communities? Including poor neighbourhoods?

      Not sure why you’re being downvoted. This is what gentrification looks like.
