No I think when you shove a bunch of “undesirables” into an area by literally not letting them get loans or see houses outside of that area, you create ghettos.
You may wanna give “redlining” a Google, and then search up the history of places you want to “protect” from gentrification. You’ll find the two are nearly always connected.
We owe it to the people who live there to financially apologize for the atrocities we committed upon them and their families in the past.
We should financially apologize for the atrocities and lift people up like you suggest, but that’s not what gentrification means. The other commenter was right. Gentrification means upgrading an area and displacing those who live there.
gentrification

noun
The restoration and upgrading of deteriorated urban property by middle-class or affluent people, often resulting in displacement of lower-income people.
The process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces earlier usually poorer residents.

So you think every neighborhood with poor people in it is a ‘ghetto?’

Displacing people isn’t a requirement, it’s an externality, and one which I addressed very specifically.
Worth noting that even displaced people end up wealthier when gentrification happens.
Now you’re suggesting every black neighborhood is a ghetto. Wow.
Way to purposely take it wrong. Not obvious at all.
You literally could not take this in worse faith if you tried.
Frankly you’re coming across as pretty racist.
