Get A Good Look At Gentrification

Hyperblogal has a FANTASTIC post featuring The Westside and a bunch of white people building expensive structures, that aren't selling at speculative prices and are otherwise out of character with the neighborhood. While this kind of development couldn't possibly take place in a middle-class suburban neighborhood . . . KCMO is content to call it "progress" not only because there's really nobody in charge of seriously regulating this kind of thing AND it's being done on the back of poor, minorities.
