The Importance Of Gentrification

In the city of New Orleans, the homeless population is at an all-time high. A cause of the homeless population may be because of gentrification. Gentrification is the process of rebuilding an area, bringing in the company of middle class or well-off people, most likely throwing the poorer residents out from rising rent prices. People lose their homes after gentrification and even their jobs. The only good thing about gentrification is that it makes the city look better and attracts wealthier people to that certain area.

Gentrification comes and raises the rent and displaces the low-income and poor people, so the wealthy people can come live in their new and improved homes. Gentrification has no reason to raise the rent because the poor need places to live and the wealthy has plenty of places to live. In conclusion, gentrification should not be allowed in areas that cannot afford the rising rents or gentrification should just not have rising rents. People should not have to be forced out of their homes and worry about themselves and their families because of people want more money because they decide to rebuild. I do agree with the rebuilding to make the city look better but not with the rising rent prices and displacing families. Hopefully in the future gentrification would change and not include rising rent prices, or people can choose if they want it in their area or
