hmm. hmmmmmmmm
Maybe we can try looking at this issue from a new angle. Does anyone have any examples of a community, of any size or geographic area/political distribution, successfully crafting an answer to gentrification? An example of an attempt would be a mandate by the Bloomberg administration in NYC to allow developers to build larger properties than original zoning allowed for if they also build a quantify of 'social housing'. An argument could be made however that this failed in its intended effect to get low and high income residents living in close proximity, as the developer placed an alternate entrance on the building specifically for low income residents.

So, maybe not a useful example but I would be interested to hear if anyone heard of any success in creating mixed income housing developments .
