Yeah, she definitely has some thought-provoking explanations on how cities work.

I would say gentrifying 1 building is ok, and is something you can do every 5 years or so to help boost the economy and modernize the building stock. But it becomes a problem when an entire block or an entire neighborhood becomes gentrified all at once. It'll lead to a slum in the long run.
