I truly believe so. I live in Harlem and one day I noticed when I was washing clothes in the laundry room (private housing), there were 3 other tenants washing their clothes. Guess what? They were white. I am not prejudice and I don't care. However, I am shocked that they are here and loving it... Most of them purchased the condo(s) and luxury apartments and walk the street as free as bird. They are not scared or intimidated by anyone or the police.... Once young Caucasian said, "I have no problems in Harlem just the harassment from the police". I amlmost bursted out laughing when he said that... They love it here and they don't mind paying the high rent. Jackie from Harlem 135th & Fifth Ave.

What is gentrification?

Gentrification is the process of renovating older rundown properties in the inner city and then converting them into expensive and desirable residences for the rich. The term gentrification owes its roots to the difference between the 'gentry' (the richest and most powerful members of society) and the ordinary 'working class' citizens. Buildings that were available as residences for the poorer working classes are no longer affordable by them after undergoing 'gentrification'.
