Get the sentrification mug.People playing the real estate market want people to get shot no matter where they live, whether they were from South Central LA before they got into real estate, or from a small town out in the country, or somewhere in between.

The guy/girl asking for 5 dollars or a cigarette usually already has his/her own money to buy this shit with, he/she just wants to charge somebody else for it.

Get the zentrification mug.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.
