Gentrification just means ripe fruit.
Careless yuppies mean lots of loot.
Seen it happen.

I wonder what percentage of the criminals are white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant?

“I’m sure the increase in crime has nothing to do with the tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants openly living with in LA.
Jeb! Bush tells us that illegals are better people than the Americans they are replacing.

I wonder if the racialists, the chamber of commerce and c of c toads like Jeb! know just how much many of us depise them.

Hey "Urban Hipsters"! How's it working out?
Good question to ask

There's more to it than that. There's a genuine hatred of gentrifiers in a lot of gentrifying neighborhoods. They come in, drive up prices and the costs of living (including where property taxes are set according to appraised land/structure values) and in doing so break up and drive the existing (and invariably lower-income minority) communities out.

L.A. has become a third world hellhole.

I was an urban pioneer in Atlanta, when we moved into
a warehouse it was a rough neighborhood but we got left
alone. In ten years it was all lofted out and yuppies moved
in, then we got robbed, cause the yups were leaving their
cellphones and computers in their cars, thought they were
safe. Finally had enough and moved to the country.
You know the story about the country...
A guy went to see his friend who “lived in the country”
He drove until the pavement ended and it was just a dirt
road, then that ended and it was just a path finally he
got to his friends house and there was a sign on the door
that said...”Be back in two weeks, gone to the country.”
Wish I had planned ahead and had more land, and I’m not
as far in the mountains as I would have liked but it beats
the alternative.
Stay safe, watch your six.

Why did you include a psychadelic image of Mister Ed saying, “Skid row”?
:p
