This article came across my feed today about the 'Gentrification and Slumification' of the city and man it rubbed me wrong:

This whole things just drips of whining and vitriol about the young people with their 'moral superiority' who are changing the city. Good grief :roll:

It seemed like there were some valid points in the core, maybe, but that it went off the rails quickly.

I noted that the author referred to "the suburbs where [they] grew up", which would indicate that they aren't originally from the city themselves, but made a deliberate decision to live there at one point. So it's ironic that they're complaining about people doing the same thing now.
