"Holding down benefit rates has sent homelessness soaring and led to an exodus of poorer people from our cities"

 

"What springs to mind when you think about the damaging legacy of the last 14 years of welfare cuts? Probably policies such as the bedroom tax, the two-child limit or the punitive introduction of universal credit. But one policy is often left out of this reckoning, even though it has arguably had an even greater impact: the repeated capping and freezing of local housing allowance (LHA).

This cut is a direct cause of Britain’s soaring homelessness figures, the desperate mothers trapped for years in wholly unsuitable temporary housing, the rapid social cleansing of our major cities and even the financial crisis overwhelming England’s local authorities."

 

This partly explains what is happening in our cities, handmaiden to gentrification, but like i have said before liberal types have given up on the poor, etc for identity/global politics and have no interest

As above, are there any happening?

 

I would like to ask about Gentrification which is happening exponentially, primarily in former working class area

with many renters evicted and pushed out to the peripheries.

 

local politicians seem sanguine about gentrification, many wlecoming it.

Excuse my ignorance , but what is Gentrification please
