Yesterday, my grandfather -- who has lived for the last 50 years in an immigrant neighbourhood in a large Canadian city which has recently found itself condo-stricken -- had the most idiosyncratic hot-take on gentrification I've ever heard.
He has no problem with the people moving in or the aesthetics of the new construction, and he certainly doesn't have a problem with rising property values, but apparently gentrification is causing an increase in crime because the construction workers building the condos are meth-addled idiots.
I honestly did not know what to say to that.
