Gentrification is a largely-bogus issue. During the 30 years from 1970
to 2000 that the aging New Left fluffed up this imaginary wound, the
actual overall shift of class and income in most inner cities across the
USA was from higher to lower, not from lower to higher.
So many foolish questions! Go have a kid, Ray. Then come back and
lecture Penn, and us families, about inner-city schooling.

sad how you're still freaked out by having had so many options while

meanwhile, now that our neighbors' kids are graduating from the
penn-assisted elementary school, isn't it time we asked them to move
out of the catchment area? to make room for others who want to send
their children to that school? or is campus apartments converting
catchment-area apartment buildings into condos fast enough? is penn's
guaranteed mortgage program for penn folks keeping pace, will our
gentrification ever look like manhattan-style gentrification?
so many questions!
