| | Gentrification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Property taxes are typically based on a percentage of a property's assessed value. | | | This is a positive development for city officials (by raising tax revenue, which is often dependent on property values), the middle class, as well as existing resident owner-occupiers. | | | In response to gentrification pressure, some cities pass rent control ordinances. |

| | The economic effects of gentrification vary widely, but the arrival of new investment, new spending power, and a new tax base usually result in significant increased economic activity. | | | Residents, community development corporations, and city governments across the country are struggling to manage these inevitable changes to create a win-win situation for everyone involved. | | | Unfortunately, the benefits of these changes are often enjoyed disproportionately by the new arrivals, while the established residents find themselves economically and socially marginalized. |

| | Gentrification often brings about a number of positive effects, including cultural revival in the inner city, the protection and preservation of historical properties, and the enhancement of the quality of life of residents, as well as a rise in property, income, and sales tax revenues for local governments. | | | One is the rent-gap theory, which posits that gentrification occurs because developers sense the profits that can be made by acquiring cheap properties and inflating their value by inducing higher-income tenants to pay for them. | | | The low-skilled individuals who once relied on these businesses to make a living are left with no employment prospects, or at least with downward mobility from jobs that paid living wages and benefits to minimum-wage service jobs. |

| | Consequently, residents who are pressured by gentrification and the dynamics that typically occur (e.g., rising housing costs) would be forced to leave the county to escape these pressures. | | | Rural gentrification has been a contentious issue in many rural areas, as these communities often have competing interests of wanting to preserve rural character and needing the economic stimulus that new people and businesses can bring. | | | There is some question, however, as to how these policies may affect economic development efforts and the development of affordable housing for low income rural residents. |

| | Tenant Responses to the Urban Housing Crisis, 1970-1984 |
| | Schur suggested leaving all current privately owned housing to the private sector, and thus open to gentrification, and using city-owned and new housing to protect the existing poor population, including the local relocation of tenants displaced by gentrification. | | | The impact of the plan, local activists concluded, would be to accelerate gentrification and increase city income through sales and higher tax assessments. | | | Late in the 1970s considerable national attention began to be paid to gentrification. |

| | A person's own home is usually their principal financial asset, and gentrification occurs in an economic climate where commodity values can change rapidly and opportunities for profit present themselves at regular intervals. | | | Earlier I outlined Neil Smith's account of the growth of a 'white-collar' employment sector, one part of which is engaged in professional and managerial jobs which follow the spatial centralisation of capital. | | | In addition, patriarchal relations of the post-war suburbs, which were fuelled by the man's role as the 'breadwinner' and the woman's domestic position, have broken down due to the increasing availability of higher education. |

| | One interpretation is that the improved public services and other neighborhood conditions brought by gentrification offer incentives for poor renters to find ways to remain in their homes – even in the face of higher rent burdens and other stresses. | | | They are organizing to press city government to adopt mandatory inclusionary zoning requirements in order to capture some of the benefits from the current building boom. | | | Instead of appreciating the changes wrought by gentrification, these citizens are organizing to create neighborhood norms that value mixed-income communities. |

| | In nearly all cases, the prime motivating factor for gentrification is not altruism but rather it is to increase profit at the expense of tenants. | | | Gentrification is almost always promoted as improvement and modernization for the benefit of everyone. | | | Gentrification typically occurs in rental housing neighborhoods, often within inner city neighborhoods where young people, old people, poor and blue collar people pay rent and struggle to survive. |

| | CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- A new study of gentrification in U.S. cities focuses on the activities of a surprising group of players -- not developers, not even politicians, but newspaper reporters. | | | Across the country, some 3,000 reporters in the 100 largest cities "routinely narrate neighborhood growth," and their representations "build knowledge regimes" that enable gentrification. | | | With a daily readership of more than 250,000, the paper "daily narrates neighborhood change and gentrification." More than 45 reporters wrote approximately 300 articles on growth and development in St. Louis in those 20 years. |

And visionaries like DeBellis are lining up at the door, one developer says. |
