That’s got to be the reason. Early gentrification is characterized by these deconversions.

Later stages are characterized by new construction, where population numbers begin to rise. This later stage is often blocked by racist pond-scum like Alderman Rosa and his ilk. The free market wants to build apartments all over Avondale, but good luck getting many of those proposals through zoning.
