“unprecedented wave of gentrification” in several Oakland neighborhoods where low-income families and minorities have lived but that are now being “colonized” by the rich,

I guess both "white flight" where those with two nickels to rub together run from neighborhoods like that and "gentrification" where they move back in, spend money and improve the neighborhood are both evil. I'll just move to somewhere where I can have a few acres of land and not have to deal with your whining.

Oakland ain’t the only place that’s been colonized by metrosexual yuppy hive-dwellers.

I always get a good laugh at how Colorado Governor Chickenlooper’s cronies delivered themselves a heaping cup full of profit... in what used to be 5-points.
