The real question is, is gentrification a bad thing, and if you think so, why? You highlight the new green line stations opening as a driver of gentrification, but why is that a bad thing?

Gentrification isn't inherently a bad thing. The problem is, we're not building enough housing to keep up with demand so it's viewed as a bad thing.

I was in union sq a few weeks ago which is the first open new green line stop. It's probably not enough, but they're building a fuck ton of housing there

We'll know it's enough when rent drops

It's both a good thing and a bad thing and overall I'm excited about it, but I think the gentrification part is a bad side effect because it drives away the people that already live there.
