Show about gentrification effects on NPR

[Omi C.]

Just heard this show on NPR about the effects of gentrification on a neighborhood. Although the show is about a specific neighborhood in Los Angeles, the issues they discuss are relevant anywhere. Lots of really interesting details on gentrification, the effect of hipsters moving in, what all of that even means(??), and its impact on real estate (and other things) in this neighborhood.

Figured other folks here would find it interesting too. There is even a blog of the analysis being done available here:

@Danny Duran and @Chris Clothier - we were talking this over dinner that night in SF.

I agree @Anson Young. I moved to Sunnyside 80211 in north Denver in 2001. Before the hipsters started calling it "LoHi" it was just part of Highlands. It's crazy how different it is. 

 I used to go to that Wells Fargo on 38th and pecos and wonder why anyone would live up there....  now I wish I bought a whole block in 2008.
