Welcome Gentry

This pic helped me understand the connection between "gentrification" and "gentry". Affluent folks replacing working people's neighborhoods because they have the money. If you actually see the old homes in parts of Austin that are being gentrified then you would likely think they need to be replaced. Many of them are run down. Or it costs too much too fix them than to replace them. Still, the beneficiaries of economic growth are not working people.
