gentriputrification

The ultimate destruction of a once vibrant and socially varied neighborhood by yuppies, first time flippers and speculators. A deadzone of residents losing their homes to sky high rents and mortgages. Everyone but the roaches are priced out but with nowhere to go. Renters and store owners escape but homeowners rot. Creates a "yuppie ghetto endgame."

Now, thanks to gentriputrification, the neighborhood is so beyond ruined, there's no one left but Starbucks and they're leaving too.

Pattern of Generosity

When one pays hush money to theirs child's mistriess' and their family and justifies it as a gifts for a family in a hard time. Coined by Keith Olbermann from Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC who reverenced urban dictionary words to bash Republicans (and will mention me on his show)

"I feel bad for Doug and Cindy Hampton and their family since the affair."
"Senator Ensign's parents gave them them tens of thousands of dollars."
"Isn't that a pay off?"
"No don't worry, they have a PATTERN OF GENEROSITY"

gentrivacation destination

every cool ski resort, ski town, or surf spot (among other vacation type places): Yuppies and super rich retiring baby boomers invade in a seemingly endless parade of bright red spyder jackets and fur coats. They are transported by huge 2mpg SUVs (Hummers and Escalades seem to be their choice, the bigger after market chrome rims and bling the better) that will never go offroad and are only there to compensate for a small penis or to look hip to the younger skiers and snowboarders living in these towns who usually have to wait on their pompous asses to afford a season pass and crappy housing at whatever resort town or cool beach front is being taken over. This is quickly followed by the cutting down of aspen trees or using TNT to blow out cliffs to build 8000-10000sq ft McMansions and Garage Mahals that will be used 2 months out of the year,destroy tons of natural resources and animal habitats, and drive the price of living (and ski passes) through the roof.

Now that there is no land left in Vail, Sun Valley, and Jackson Hole, Fucking SoCal and Texas dickheads make Park City their new gentrivacation destination of choice.

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!
