    Dude, you need to google gentrification, it’s specifically a negative thing. You’re just using the word wrong.

      Gentrification comes from the root word “Gentry” referring to the upper or ruling class.

      It’s literally the upper class moving in, displacing the lower or middle class. The word is classist by definition.
