(2004-01-26) Sucher Gentrify

David Sucher on Gentrification, which I see as partially a Monoculture issue. Gentrification is a process by which individual buyers and sellers voluntarily transfer property. The buyers usually - I did it then and my young relations are doing it now - buy a house in disrepair and through mostly sweat equity bring it back to full functionality. They fix the roof and prune the trees. They value the house and put money into it. Others are encouraged to do the same and the neighborhood revives.
