With any community, there are bound to be issues. Whether it's an increase in crime, inflation in property or various environmental concerns, a sense of unity will be present regardless of the problems. These changes within a community will either break or make the certain population within that area. Gentrification has been on the rise in many areas in Baltimore. There are many people to this day still fighting for their voices to be heard about this issue. On a personal view, it seems unfair. Why should someone leave a community just because the demand for everything surrounding them is high? Perhaps, that's how the economy keeps civilians on their toes. Change is inevitable. Some may like it and some may disagree with it but without it, growth is limited. Station North is a good example of gentrification. Although it's now known as the Arts and Entertainment district, knowing that individuals once had to move out of this "district" because they could no longer afford what they once called home boggles my mind. But on the other hand, this is the economy. While it may seem unfair, without gentrification there is no real birth of new communities.
