Gentrify

When people try to make somebody a part of their community, they dont need it to gentrify, it's no way to repay them. People should have as much involvement in the decision of what goes where in the area they live as a developer or anybody else involved in a decision, even if they dont pay to build it. The king is as in need of his subjects as the subjects are in need of him sort of thing. The same applies with music or anything else somebody wants to gentrify.
The king thoughts his subjects were the only people who needed permission to do anything, so he went ahead and tried to gentrify their lives for them.

Gentriffy

Pronounced jen-triff-ee; Roughly interpreted as "anti-semitism based on forgetting that jesus was in fact also a jew" but tends to be mistaken for "I believe it is nearly time for dinner," which is only the correct interpretation on Saturdays after sundown.
Generally the first interpretation is seen when defending against anti-semitism in regard to the belief that the jews were responsible for the death of Christ.
"I dunno man, wasn't it the jews that killed jesus?"
"That is some pretty serious gentriffy, are you anti-semetic or something?"

gentrivacation

A temporary halt to construction projects for richer people in poor neighborhoods. Good grassroots work can make a gentrivacation permanent, and has prevented many historical sites from facing the wrecker's ball.
Seems like the construction workers have taken a gentrivacation. The new building is past its "build by" date.

Gentrifuck

An Urban Planning term for when the good intention of gentrification of a town, neighbourhood, city or any other area subject to gentrification goes horribly wrong either immediately after gentrification, or unintended consequences of gentrification over time.
"Oh look over there, that neighbourhood looks so fresh and so new"

"yes, but it has been gentrifucked, as the only people that can afford the rents are snobs, and the only stores that can afford the rent are corporations - mom and pop shops have dissapeared"
