Maybe gentrification? When I googled this, the definitions were all about “revitalizing run down areas”, which is, I think, exactly how it’s framed when these things happen. But I really thought the word had a well defined negative connotation.
Anyway, had a conversation with a realtor once who was telling me she could get me a good deal on an apartment in a neighborhood in Brooklyn. They were looking for students because students draw internet cafes and then rich people come for the vibes. Jokes on her, Im poor.
Is there a word for this?
Also considering all the examples off the tops of peoples heads here in the comments, there should be a wiki.
