Bernie Sanders uses gentrification in Greenville to make national political point again

87. "Biden isn't calling for an end to gentrification" and that's a good thing?

the indentation got too deep and isn't working properly and replies are not being posted under the right position, so let me repost this here since you might have missed this:

Biden isn't calling for an end to gentrification (which hasn't happened in either Scranton or Wilmington)"

So, for some reason you are upset that Sanders is not living in his beloved but blighted home town and is now trying to address the issue of gentrification.

But for some reason you are fine with Biden not living in his beloved but blighted home town and NOT calling for an end to gentrification. Wowzers... where to start..

First, did you know many minorities experiencing gentrification would HOPE that democrats would want to end gentrification? They feel that the communities they grew up in are being destroyed by gentrification that displaces them.


Second, well, George, sit down. Brace yourself, Gentrification HAS happened in Scranton and Wilmington.

Want some links? Ok....

We're seeing gentrification on a smaller magnitude here in Scranton, PA as well, and it's interesting to watch, to say the least, if not even a bit disheartening.

SCRANTON-- Art studios, recreation trails and industrial-chic renovations are all part of an ambitious plan to turn South Scranton into a hip, artsy, hangout.

The battles over Baynard Stadium and the formerRodney Square transit hub don’t seem to have much in common with one another.
Still, both are related to the beginnings of that fancy word “gentrification” in Wilmington. Simply stated, ounger people, often with good jobs, are moving to the city

Will you at least admit you were wrong that Gentrification HAS occurred in Scranton and Wilmington?

Will you not accept that minority communities feel they are being destroyed by gentrification?

Personally, I give Sanders credit for discussing problems associated with gentrification. Bravo. I say Bravo.

Since the indentation has broken in this sub-thread I think it's time for me to say my job here is over. lol
