Saying that certain people belong in certain places and have “their” neighborhoods vs the “other” neighborhoods is deeply problematic. It’s the same rationalization that whites used when complaining about people of color moving into their neighborhoods.

No one has any right to a certain space. If others are willing to pay more than you to live somewhere, you have precisely zero moral ground to live there instead of them. Complains of gentrification largely boil down to racist qualms of having diverse spaces. Opponents of gentrification are, more often than not, trash people with thinly coated racist beliefs who hide behind dog whistles of “preserving their culture” and “maintaining community.”
