Gentrification

Where middle-class takes over a poor area and make it "better". They build homes but make it expensive, so that poor people would move out because they can't afford to live there. One example would be at Market st, people are destroying their homes but making new ones. By building new homes their raising up the cost of rent. For example, if the rent before cost 1,200, now it would raise up to 1,900.
