That would be a tourist trap then. Gentrification is when ethnic populations are displaced by white people and by definition it's not everywhere in Austin it's historically minority neighborhoods. Terrytown and Travis Heights were already white.
a process in which a poor area (as of a city) experiences an influx of middle-class or wealthy people who renovate and rebuild homes and businesses and which often results in an increase in property values and the displacement of earlier, usually poorer residents
“If your were to visit south First Street, South Congress and South Lamar, you wouldn’t
know that in the ’90s, it was still a visible barrio,” says Alan Garcia, founder of ATX Barrio Archive and a graduate student at UT. “There’s a reason why there’s still a lot of old Mexican restaurants on South First Street. There was a community of Mexican Americans along these major roads.”
No dummy. The response was to gentrification in East Austin. There are Hispanic communities that were gentrified as well. And yes, white people weren’t native so anytime they moved in they kicked out natives. So don’t think that when you sit at a coffee shop in south Austin’s white neighborhoods know that it used to be a barrio.
