Gentrification in Us Cities:

In the Crown Heigths neighborhood of Brooklin there has been a gentrification means that affluent white people had moved in. The area has been renovated, there are new cafes, restaurants and more green spaces

But On the other hand, the rents have become unaffordable. Long time residents had to move out because they could'nt afford to pay theirs rents. The area is less multicutural\diverse.

An Economic Apartheid:

Cleve Jones has been an human rights activist since the 1970s. He thinks that gentrification is destructive and unsustainable because the wealthy are claiming the area and everyone must to leave. It's a complete transformation because the cities used to be a place for the poor, the immigrant, the middle-class people but these people can't afford to live thre anymore. Now who is going to work in the fancy restaurants ?

But not everybody thinks that gentrification is bad because it brings economic growth, new job and business opportunities and value of people's houses rises.

Hipters Mites:

This document is a mural painted by Aberto Serrano and The Royal Kingbee in the Bronx Borough of New-York City. It was painted in 2015 and it is a comic strip. The bees who are the long time residents are evicted by the hipsters mites. The hipsters mites are the wealthy affluent newcomers invading the area.

The artist is making fun of them, he is mocking their organic supermarkets and activities like crochet. According to him gentrification is really destructive because neighborhood are loosing their souls, their ethnic and cultural diversity in favour of a white dominant culture
