Decline

Another word for gentrification, where they get enough people living somewhere to stab or shoot one another to move everybody out and buy the land cheap when it becomes a ghost town.

A lot of neighborhoods in Detroit and places like Detroit would have once been considered by some to be like what suburban areas are now, nice neighborhoods that had houses with lawns, outside of downtown and the business/commercial/industrial areas. The neighborhoods didnt really decline, they did get rid of a lot of people the same way they got rid of a lot of white people after World War 2 in the larger cities, and nothing and nobody replaced many of the people that left Detroit recently. A neighborhood that once was filled with Italians or Jews or another group might become a black neighborhood, but gentrification is the same no matter what the shade of skin of the people that live there, it is a human neighborhood.

Get the Decline mug.

when your card declines at therapy so they

They’re all put into the scenario of when you’ve just finished a therapy session and your card declines so you can’t pay for it so the therapist tries to undo everything you worked on in therapy by bringing the thing out that gave you all the trauma. Naming things that gave you severe trauma.

when your card declines at therapy so they bring out that one best friend you had as a teenager who you fell out with for literally no reason.
