Does replacing empty buildings count as gentrification? They are not displacing anyone, Gentrification is been used too widely, I’m against it when developers displace locals who live in a safe neighborhood but taking over empty buildings or crime infested areas is certainly a plus for the city as it bring new opportunities to locals.

How did it get to that point. It was abandoned post-covid when the bar couldn't operate... my gripe is always with luxery rentals, condos because people won't own land, but a piece of a building... New money coming in, and rent is crazy, and getting crazier.
