Introduction For many years “Gentrification” as occur around the world. It has become a problematic issue between people and culture. Gentrification is the process of lower communities becoming richer communities by the transformation of creating luxury buildings, condos, and restaurants around the community. However, the process of gentrification raises property values and taxes in the community. It soon becomes difficult for residents who have low income to make payments in order to stay in their homes. Unfortunately, those who aren't able to afford have no choice than to leave the community. As a result, highly class wealthy incomers decide to live in the community and the original population of the community and culture is changed.
In addition, I decided to focus my fire project on gentrification. Focusing my attention and learn about gentrification process can help me get a general idea on the causes on why it happens and the consequences of the gentrification process. As well help create a solution in order to stop gentrification in our communities.
Thesis Statement Gentrification has a negative effect on residents and culture in our communities and it is used to displace low income residents. Therefore, laws and acts should be enforced to help low income residents continue to live in their homes at a reasonable cost.
