The Onion on Neighborhood Gentrification

The Onion has published a piece of commentary that seems to reflect the feelings of a lot of folks around here. 

When I moved into this neighborhood, I fell in love right away. Not with the actual neighborhood, but with its potential: It’s affordable, there are nice row houses all around just waiting to be filled up by my friends, there’s lot of open space to be exploited, and plenty of parking. Plus, this area has got a great authentic feel and, with a little work, it could be even more authentic. Perfect, right?

Satire… Tacoma… Satire… Tacoma… It’s so close to home, it’s almost scary.  Neighborhood gentrification.  Bocce courts.  T-shirts.  Churches being renovated… or going condo.  It’s all there.  I love it.
