Ah, I see. Well, the thing that’s got these protesters upset is that poorer people are being evicted - sometimes forcibly - from their homes because they can no longer afford them because of rising property prices due to outside investment and improvement of the surrounding area. I think gentrification and the lower crime and other positive effects that come with it is generally a good thing, but I can understand that it sucks to be forced out of your home through no fault of your own too.

It would be interesting to see how many protesters were “forced out of their homes” vs how many were your standard thugs with no real personal interest.
