"Revitalizing" cities through gentrification does not help the poor inhabitants — rather, it pushes them out to someplace further away.

I like it when cities are pretty and safe, and have lot of places to buy little luxuries such as cupcakes, but that must not erase the issue of poverty from our minds. We need a society where everyone can enjoy those treats. We need to tax the rich more, and use the money to lift people out of poverty.
