Whether gentrification harms or displaces existing residents is one thing.

There's also the long-term issue of re-shuffling the geography of affordability.

I get the feeling that what's going to happen is that we are taking centrally located high poverty, high crime, low education attainment areas that happened to have great transit, were close to major employment centers and home to businesses with philanthropic activities as well as legacy civic wealth(institutions, cultural and parks facilities, etc) and replacing them with high poverty, high crime, low education attainment areas that are on the exurban fringe and have none of those things.
