It just had to point out the locals being pushed out. Mostly blacks.

That’s called gentrification. I sold commercial real estate in Seattle back in the early 80’s and I saw this happen to the Central District (CD). You could see the gentrification happening to large, dumpy homes one by one as they moved west from Lake Washington south of East Madison Street.

I’ve not been to that particular part of Seattle in about 20 years. I’m guessing it’s fully gentrified by now.

The Empire Way area north of S. Cloverdale was doing the same thing. BTW, It’s now called MLK Jr. way now.🤣

I should check google street view and see how it’s coming. 😉

That’s an interesting word. You described it well. I looked up the origin.
