Back in 1990, San Diego CA downtown was a run down area. As a young man, I saw and help the area flourish. But that was the whole gentrification thing. I, a poor minority person of color helped make the place awesome...for someone else to buy and for me and my family to leave. However, as I left during the pandemic downtown seems to have grown back to its old drug and homeless habits. Tent city once again, but this time the are is unaffordable for anyone to try and help clean it up. It's a nice place to live but now the question is, if only rich people live there, who will bridge the homeless people over back to humanity? Right? If there's no bridge class, then the only solution is to get rid of them by force. That, in the eyes of the rich who live there. If you're not rich and barely getting by, you're basically the help.
