anti-gentrification

Anti-gentrification refers to efforts and sentiments opposing the process of gentrification, where wealthier individuals move into a neighborhood, often leading to increased property values and living costs. This change can displace long-term residents, particularly low- and moderate-income communities, and alter the neighborhood's cultural and social fabric. Anti-gentrification advocates work to preserve affordable housing, support community identity, and ensure that development benefits existing residents rather than pushing them out. Their goal is to promote equitable growth that maintains the neighborhood's diversity and character.
