Reply to comment by Funktownajin in The harms of gentrification | The exclusion of poorer people from their own neighbourhoods is not just a social problem but a philosophical one by ADefiniteDescription
Gentrification is issue of the poor, so if you have property in a place that faces skyrocketing land value and decides to stay in such a place being poor for reasons you listed instead of selling it to improve your life it is definition stubborn choices.
It would be ok for everyone, you can stay and be significantly worse of than all your neighbours if it would not include endless outcry about how unjust it is that everyone around you is now better off...

Like i said i think you are way off the mark, not to mention the assumption that poor people own houses in the neighborhoods they live in.
