Is all this gentrification in cities we're seeing sustainable? Seems like every day there's a new multi-million dollar highrise going up in my old neighborhood. There can't be THAT many yuppies with enough money to afford them all?

Generally not for the poor, but it is progress. Where I live is gentrified and it did it in a socially aware way - for example it was only open to first time buyers rather than investers.

I wonder where conservatives stand on gentrification? They don't exactly live in big metro areas so maybe they don't care..

I know something that happens in other places is foreign investors park their money in real estate here...it's only sustainable in the sense that the government will prop it up
