Oh yes indeed, Bro. I saw the trailer for your film on the forum and I definitely plan to check that.So much hijacking being done in the name of "regentrification". It is heartbreaking to see elders who have lived in a place for the majority of their lives being told by developers that they must move. Sometimes they are not told that they must move but that they are about to have to pay a lot of extra money that they just don't have to remain in their dwellings (which is basically a long way of telling a person, "You must move.") Regentrification often uproots people and leaves them displaced and trying to find their way while the communities in which they used to live, with drastically new demographics, flourish. In essence, regentrification is yet another one of the countless perfectly legal ways in which "democracy" is undermined. Thank you for giving voice to the voiceless.
