Condoschmerz

Literally "condo pain" or "condo weariness," the deep sorrow and psychological pain one feels as one's city becomes destroyed by rapid, ubiquitous luxury condo development. Often results in disorientation.

I got lost in such a fog of condoschmerz while walking through the overdeveloped streets of the gentrified Lower East Side, I couldn't find my way home.
