Scenario

When siblings inherit property in a gentrifying neighborhood

My brother and I inherited our parents' house in a neighborhood that's rapidly gentrifying and we can't agree whether selling it for a huge profit makes us part of the displacement problem or if keeping it is just privileged guilt that doesn't actually help anyone. The data on what gentrification does to communities is pretty clear but what that means for our specific decision isn't.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Personal financial decisions become moral dilemmas when individual choices intersect with larger systems of displacement and privilege.
