gentrifence

High-end wooden fencing (often horizontal) used to make houses in the ghetto look upmarket.

Who're the new neighbors?

Yuppies. You can tell from the gentrifence.

Gentrification

An angsty dogwhistle used by culturally territorial locals to mean:
“I don’t like you because your financial pursuits are disrupting my hyper-niche neighborhood vibe.”

Often tossed around as if it signals some noble, systemic resistance—but more often just a melodramatic protest against having one’s narcissistically curated subculture overwritten by the inevitable Pareto dynamics of a free economy.

“Kayla called it gentrification when a developer replaced her crypto-themed hookah bar with condos—because her micro-scene of sea-shanty DJs and tarot nights was apparently sacred ground.”

Like Replacement Theory in reverse, except it's actually real.

Thank God for gentrification, it's not like there aren't way more than enough white middle class suburbs in this country.

street gentrifibility

wenn du deine shisha bar in neukölln verlässt um so zu tun als wärst du ein hipster in friedrichshain

it is corona but i do not care because i am just 20 years old. i saw that no one of the Friedrichshain people are checkin in so now it is time that me and all my friends hang out there because it is the only place in Berlin where we can fuck the law. so let us
go there and dominate the srteets with other stupid kids which are not from here \ö/ this is street gentrifibility.
