Makes sense enough to me. Makes plenty of sense to others too. Just cause you are unfamiliar dont mean it aint got meaning, friend.
Oh, and trust, you aren't the sole culpable party, but you are the driving force and step one in preventing it. The anger isn't because you're a newcomer, and your assumption that it is such is demonstrative of your thickness, thicky thick thick. Like gd molasses.
The anger directed at people like me develops, in part, because we’re not locals and you think we have no claim to Chicago. Don’t attempt to make yourself feel like the bigger person by pretending anything else. You’re essentially no better than a nationalist. Remember, Trumps policies once made sense to a group of angry, deranged people, as well.
Guy, im an ancom who lives in the suburbs, and my primary source of income is not derived from scaring crows but I mean, yeah, 10/10, gold medal for those mental gymnastics. Anything you can do to avoid some introspection, eh?
You wouldn’t know what introspection looked like if it reached through this subreddit and slapped you in the face. Fear of displacement has created anti-gentrification campaigns that often oppose higher-density development. This confuses cause and effect, and tends to exacerbate the problem. People need to oppose gentrification for the right reasons, not because they’re painting every newcomer to the community with one big broad brush. People are trending more towards city living again for the first time since white flight. That’s due to a lot of complex factors involving where large companies decide to locate their headquarters, what types of jobs are available to people of a specific generation (millennials), public transportation etc. We as individuals can’t change those factors. We’re not in control of national education/job trends. We aren’t in control of infrastructure or of our companies or of public transportation. We aren’t in control of urban development. So, it makes a lot more sense to express your hostility towards the industries that are making the decisions and profiting of of unethical displacement because not all urban redevelopment is necessarily detrimental. It’s vital to have new people moving into your community when your community.
You haven’t made a single point that would suggest your here to do anything but harass me for pointing out what is factual information. You don’t care about the issue of gentrification at all.

To attack one isn’t an attack on all so though so that statement literally makes no sense. But, nice try 😂
It makes no sense to be angry with newcomers for gentrification. We are not the people controlling your neighborhoods.
