Scenario

When community groups include both gentrifiers and longtime residents

Our neighborhood association is trying to address gentrification but half the people in the room are the gentrifiers, including me, and half are longtime residents who are being displaced. Every meeting feels like we're talking past each other even when we're using the same words about 'community' and 'belonging.'

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared language about values can mask fundamentally different relationships to place and belonging.
