I base this on pure observation – housing, natural resource consumption, farming and secondary effects on the environment such as pollution.…

A decline in crime rates is highly desired in a community since it attracts more businesses and residents. Gentrification gives property ownership and diminishes vacant properties, which often have high concentration in crimes. Moreover, the addition of more shops and establishments means more job opportunities for everyone, especially for low income residents.…
