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!

Bentrification

The appropriating and reclaiming of historically cis/het forms of media. Often with a view to including other sexualities and genders, or creating an exclusively LGBT+ space.

I love the bentrification of country music, especially Lil Nas X and Orville Peck

mentrification

The process by which fields gradually becoming dominated by men gain in perceived value, to the point where it's often forgotten that they were originally dominated by women (e.g. computers, Star Trek fandom); and by which fields gradually becoming dominated by women lose perceived value, to the point where it's often forgotten that they were originally dominated by men (e.g. nursing, secretarial work).

A play on the word "gentrification."

Nursing has suffered some serious mentrification for people to forget that it used to be mostly men!

gentrification

A buzzword uttered mostly by those who are outraged that improving a neighborhood means people will spend more money to live in it.

- What's happened to all the bums that used to hang around here?

- Gentrification, man. Getting worse by the day.

Gentrification

The act of increasing the quality of a crap neighborhood to livable, sanitary conditions, thereby removing the property value from the toilet and basically polishing a turd. Racists hate it because it typically means more of the evil, oppressive Equinsu Ocha, and criminals hate it because crime rates typically plummet. The parasite class is sometimes resultingly displaced in favor of the working middle-class. An unfortunately occasional by-product of gentrification is an increase in a liberal presence which benefits nobody.

The coffee shop and new park which replaced the two old crack houses are quite an upgrade to the neighborhood (thank goodness for gentrification)!
