yt ppl: just like u benefit from the white supremacist racist system we live in, recognize that when u move into that poor poc neighborhood no matter if it was 5 years ago or 25 years ago, you partake in gentrification whether u intend to not. recognize the space u take up
it's not abt forcing u to pay more to live somewhere whiter and wealthier. its abt recognizing ur privilege and that u contribute to the gentrification of that neighborhood over time like its that simple. and no not only white ppl gentrify
be mindful of the businesses u support in a gentrifying neighborhood. what do the customers look like? does the price of the goods on the menu reflect the socioeconomic level of most residents in the neighborhood? who are they hiring? is there an alternative business to support?
