Gentrification is an overblown concern. No one has the right to live in a specific area. Migration is human tendency. Just like poor people have a right to move from a rural area to a city in search of better employment opportunities, people with money have right to move to cheaper locations to get a better bang for their buck.


There's nothing overblown about being forced out of a neighborhood you've lived in all of your life. Now the problem is reaching epic proportions all over the world.

I also do not understand how the second sentence and the last aren't a direct contradiction of each other.


The bigger complaint looks like it's about buying houses as investment vehicles, often leaving them empty, rather than using them as housing.


Not so when it involves crossing country lines.

A country should focus on its citizens first, foreigners second.

Then again EU is an unique experiment as it is.
