Wholesale gentrification is hardly a problem here in Baltimore. However, it is interesting to see the data and maps comparing gentrification patters from the 1990-2000 and 2000 - present. The change has been slow and steady, which when it comes to development is pretty much the "Baltimore Way".

Baltimore Gentrification Maps and Data 1990-Present
Gentrification can be a double edged sword. The improvements it brings are an important part of the rebirth of American cities. I worked in D.C. around 1990 and the transformation from that time is remarkable. In those days D.C was the more violent sibling in the region. However, gentrification gets a bad rap for driving out people. Its not just the poor, either. San Francisco, Boston, Manhattan, and the like are evolving into upper class enclaves. The debate goes on.
