A university professor had our class take a field trip to Baltimore to look at the different neighborhoods and the differences gentrification makes. In a neighborhood off the beaten path, a place where lower-income people live, some fellow went berzerk on the professor and ripped her a new one for making a side-show out of his hood. He defined gentrification for her as where the friends of the mayor get rich developing the land the poor people are forced out of. He called her every name in the book and told her if she wanted to see the sunset, she had better get her butt back to the tourist areas and out of his hood.
