Comment | Way to misrepresent what was said mate. Nobody is saying they want people to stay poor. They're saying gentrification mostly just moves poor people around and doesn't meaningfully impact their lives when suddenly they can't afford to live where they are now. The former residents of Govanhill aren't all still there, enjoying the fruits of gentrification. Some are, I'm sure, but plenty won't be. Is improving the lives of that small portion worth displacing the rest? Just to move the problems Govanhill had to somewhere else? |
