If black neighborhoods are cheap, it's bad; if black neighborhoods aren't cheap anymore, it's also bad. What would be your solution to this? To tell the vocal anti-gentrification protesters to shut up...? (That's the one I'm leaning towards, all things considered.)

i don't know much about that.
black neighborhoods in chicago don't really gentrify, they tend to just slowly decay into social dysfunction, and then abandonment.
the gentrification wars of chicago are primarily fought in the predominately latino hoods of the west and northwest sides. they're much less violent.
