Reverse Gentrification

When city council displaces renters to house the homeless. Akin to free energy proponents believe that making people homeless will solve homelessness.

Imminent signs of Reverse Gentrification include large encampments of tents and homeless people at parks or other public locations, that move elected officials to buy your rental homes to solve the problem.

Usually results in urban charm to your neighborhood. You can expect frequent visits from police, fire department and other first responders.

Tenant1: We all got notice to vacate and I'm not sure we can stay in the area.
Tenant2: No worries. I hear Reverse Gentrification is helping out folks like us.

Council1: I got a great idea, let's buy homes to shelter homeless!
Council2: Displace people to house people, you mean Reverse Gentrification?
Council1: Yes...And we could harness free energy to pay the utilities!
Council2: Aren't we smart!

a.k.a. Dollar General; a store in which one can buy groceries, toiletries, clothes, office supplies, pretty much anything you may need; a small scale Wal-Mart

I need a ride to the Dollar Gentral to buy a box of Cap'n Crunch and a pack of socks.
