Would this be like gentrification?


Sure. Like how a neighbourhood with low rent, cheap cultural non-corporate restaurants (pho, tacos, gyros), full of students, young professionals, immigrants and all the character those things have is like a young platform. Then because it's a cool place to be, brands move in (hello Starbucks), rent goes up, and the people that made it interesting in the first place are pushed out.
