Do you realize that gentrification is only possible with exclusionary zoning?

That zoning causes gentrification, whats yours?

My point has nothing to do with zoning and gentrification is a cause of supply and demand so I’m not convinced it wouldn’t exist without zoning. Only so much land to go around

We could fit the entire population of Earth into Texas and everyone would have 1000sqft of space. Philadelphia used to have over 2 million people living in it, and using less total land area than the current 1.6 million occupies.
We are nowhere near running out of land space in this city, try again.
