#rssrp my first reaction to this was a question, what does it mean by should? Should the rich be morally obligated to help the poor, or should there be steps taken to ensure the ruck help the poor. Both can be interpreted as socialism or just a social norm, either way I object.
#rssdebate a politician is always somewhat corrupt, which is why there’s such a big difference between Trump and Hillary. Hillary didn’t even answer the first question, just reinstated the same bigoted rhetoric. Trump didn’t put on a facade he answered the question and gave facts
#rssdebate debating is typically a civil argument where there are two opposing sides proposing an argument on a chosen topic based on an opinion, but supported with facts and evidence.
#rssgent the picture expresses the American dream during the gold rush, the women represent ambition and hope as she lays down the wire of innovation and progress. On the ground pilgrims drive the natives back into their Homeland as well as more primitive science and tradition.
#reagent if the society has a higher population with lower income and a higher homeless rate then gentrification should be taken in baby steps. If a society has a population with decent income and low unemployment (based on the local economy and job market) it should gentrify.
#rssgent gentrification is obviously a great thing for a society of executed properly, and that’s determined based off of the individual demographics of the society being gentrified.
#rssgent one pattern in the article is that throughout it mentions the environmental impact of the expansion of i70, yet it gives no evidence or reasoning as to how that can be true. One claim is that 80% of the residents want to stay after a door to door survey of 1,500 homes.

#rssgent#congent the biggest con is also a pro depending on the class. For gentrifiers higher property value wouldn’t be a problem and the increased property tax would benefit local libraries and schools. Prior residents would be evicted and possibly riot, creating tension.
#RSSGent Elyria/Swansea had the minority of industry without obvious growth. It was mostly residential with only a couple of resteraunts and one store. I didn’t see any cultural landmarks and there were more vacant/old houses, as well as only a few businesses and no office park.
#RSSGent Five Points was definitely more gentrified in the sense that it was more residential but still had a good variety of businesses. There were churches, more schools, more modern and diverse resteraunts, and construction/renovations of office buildings.
I felt as though gentrification is great for a community as a whole to improve the quality of living. However for those that cannot afford to gentrify they could either get excluded or the entire process goes a lot slower, either way it causes conflict.
