Answer:

NEGATIVE

  • it can lead to the loss of affordable housing, which primarily impacts renters and can cause the displacement of the existing community.

POSITIVE

  • gentrification often leads to commercial development, improved economic opportunity, lower crime rates, and an increase in property values, which benefits existing homeowners.
