Fuck Gentrification - Join the Fuck Parade...Part 3!

it's difficult to present an argument to somsone whose entire debating strategy seems based around shifting the parameters at random.

I'm not shifting anything - you decided to get sidetracked with petty insults and dreams about teeth pulling when asked a question - I'll ask again:

Why is the cereal cafe such an issue and the other food establishments on brick lane not an issue - what makes the cereal cafe owners middle class gentrifiers?

BECAUSE THEY HAVE MOVED INTO THE AREA TO SUPPORT GENTRIFIERS: THEY CATER TO GENTRIFIERS AND NOT THE LOCAL POPULACE as opposed to e.g. the bengali restaurants or the bagel shops which have been there for many years. indeed the very ward's named banglatown.

how do they support 'gentriiers'?

you can go into any number of bars on that road and see plenty of hipster types, any number of Curry houses and see groups of city bankers... what makes the cereal cafe different? You think the entire row of curry houses with people stood outside trying to attract passing trade mostly supports the local populace?

This is why you've got shit arguments- because you can't justify it other than ranting, resorting to insults or bleatling vaguely that they support 'gentrifiers' - frankly it is you who needs a few knocks to the head if you think attacking a cafe helps any cause....

they support gentrifiers by providing services aimed at those gentrifiers: just as the estate agents up the road from the cereal cafe isn't aimed at local working class people, but at middle class people moving into the area. it would help if you were prepared to find out what gentrification means and how it works so you could come across with some vague understanding of the social processes under discussion.

how do you know that their customers base is any different to the many bars that have been along that road for years? And again those curry houses are often full of city types not locals... You think there could be so many of them on the same road if they were there to provide to just the local population? Almost the whole of brick lane caters mostly to people who don't live there and has done so for a while.
