Longtime residents feel they are getting pushed out by newcomers moving to the city

If you own something it's hard to be displaced.

So these cries of displacement are more than likely coming from renters, squatters or those who thought they were going to buy an 8,000 sq ft house for ten dollars.

Maybe these are just the growing pains of the long socialistic, gimmie gimmie, the one who shouts loudest is right economy of Detroit relearning capitalism's tenants of supply and demand. "Gasp"

Seriously, look around. Go for a drive on Conner near city airport. Go one block east or west of Woodward in Highland park. Has anyone been down six mile lately or gone for a trek up Michigan? We're a long way from city-wide gentrification. So a handfull of hipsters are now living in Corktown and a young lady gets outbid on a loft. There goes the neighborhood!

It's only going to be a matter of time before they start cleaning up alleys and vacant lots, revitalizing playgrounds, mowing yards. I mean seriously it's going to get to a point where I won't be able to defecate in public spaces!
