How is 'life coach' even a thing that exists let alone a job

Posted by ty97 Aug 11 '15, 06:36

There are pros and cons to gentrification in general, but I can certainly see why gentrification of Harlem in particular (given it's historical nature as a storied African-American neighborhood) would bug someone. (Not that this defends the action on the train and I certainly would have been scares/uncomfortable in that train car)

Responses:

I really wonder if the pros outweigh the cons. Seeing it happen here and in other neighborhoods doesn't lead me to think it's good for anyone - Krusty Aug 11, 06:44 6
- I haven't studied it in any depth, but my amateur view sees gentrification as part of the broader pattern of population shifts - ty97 Aug 11, 06:49 5
  - I feel like cities need to control or stop it sometimes because you're going to lose the working class. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 06:53 4
    - I tend to think we also risk losing the rich diversity (of culture, race, income, experience) and turn cities into rich white playgrounds. -- (edited) - ty97 Aug 11, 06:58 3
      - All those wonderful local restaurants that serve you food from around the world might not be around much longer. - Krusty Aug 11, 07:03 2
        
        Separate (at least in part) from the gentrification conversation (and completely selfishly) I HATE the suburbanization of cities. - ty97 Aug 11, 07:06 1
        
        Yup. I get so angry when I read about a chain opening up. There's going to be a Lowe's in midtown. *smh* - Krusty Aug 11, 07:20
