Gentrification in Philadelphia
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Gentrification_in_Philadelphia an entity of type: Thing
Gentrification is the targeting of a neighborhood as new, and typically more affluent, people move in. It is often criticized because the current residents have limited options to buy or rent equivalent housing in alternative areas at the same price. If they stay, prices for products, services, and taxes rise and existing social networks are disturbed. Gentrification is the opposite of white flight—when residents voluntarily move away as a neighborhood declines.

Gentrification is the opposite of white flight—when residents voluntarily move away as a neighborhood declines. In Philadelphia, various neighborhoods, each with a characteristic class and ethnic makeup, are being shaken as newcomers move in. The impact of gentrification has been felt most in a number of neighborhoods around Center City such as lower North Philadelphia, Francisville, Northern Liberties, Fishtown, Kensington, Fairmount, Center City West, Hawthorne, University City, Point Breeze, and Grays Ferry.
