A real candidate needs to figure out a middle ground between zero gentrification and constantly pricier $2k+ apartments sprouting up. Like somebody else said, the city needs to figure out how to incentivize developers to not just build luxury bullshit to attract displaced NYC/DC residents.

Figuring out how to keep more middle class college grads in the city should be important, not telling them that "yeah these 10 areas are shitty now and will remain shitty", which basically tells them to take their family building elsewhere, which they do. Funny how so many Temple grads end up starting families... in the suburbs.
