A walk through gentrification ground zero
I was in North Portland yesterday afternoon, and I took a couple of minutes to walk around and take pictures of some houses on a block where the engines of upper class anti-flight are working overtime. The houses range from ratty old 4-square buildings to neatly kept up by the owners who had lived there for the past 40 years to scarily refurnished and filled with wealthier families that recently moved in.
