Hi Beatrice --- there are quite a few communities experiencing gentrification in our area -- and the subject can be quite controversial. Change is difficult for many people especially when they are displaced or see businesses change. It's a part of the evolution of our cities as far as I see it.

I would say the job market and lack of inventory are the big issues here.

I've heard of much gentrification around the LA area, and witnessed some. I don't know how large scale the problem is. I know back in Philadelphia it's occurring in some areas, too.

Yes, on many fronts. Tucson, AZ was recently named in top 10 of cities to retire in for AARP. For agents, many experienced agents here in Tucson are already past "retirement age", which is normally considered 58 years old.
