sitting in class right now listening to this TEDxNew York talk regarding the topic we’ve heavily discussed in class, or at the very least has constantly been brought up, in gentrification, but it was intriguing because i’d just been discussing with my friend Zac about areas, or suburbs that we liked and didn’t like, and more or less the overarching issue wasn’t the matter of gentrification itself, in a way but more or less what occurs when it flows or happens to eventuate when the suburb stops being nice to live, theres an influx of expensive fusion food places that aren’t necessarily good, and a decline in food places that lends to its culture, and i guess this is an issue in areas that don’t already possess an preexisting culture that can supplement the gentrification that is occuring. like at the moment it is undeniable that Footscray and North Richmond is gentrifying, but i feel like that it is an area of vietnamese culture so it is not being diminished as a nice suburb as much as places with less existing culture, like Thornbury. Brunswick is kind of getting effected by the influx of gentrification in the midst of the culture, and coburg still can maintain this

gentrification as displacement

it’s interesting Sutton raises this because in the North as a hot spot for young people to rent, are starting to continue to move further north as the inner north and slightly more north are getting way too expensive meaning people are going to need to move to Reservoir and Broadmeadows
