Only if you interpret them in a literal binary sense. No different from making male/female statements; you implicitly acknowledge there are people who don't fit the either-or categories, or who are simply outliers. This isn't a maths equation so I'm not going to argue the minutiae of it; happy to concede whatever point you're making.

There's also the issue of who decides whether someone is a gentrifier or not, and what parameters are used to determine it. It might even be the case that many of those classing new arrivals to their area as gentrifiers were themselves seen as gentrifiers by the locals when they first moved in all those years ago.
A bit like a driver caught in a rush hour traffic jam calling the office to complain he is stuck in traffic, when in fact he is traffic.

Which is what you're doing. Some locals become gentrifiers. Many gentrifiers become locals. You can't outnumber a group that you're part of. Plus all of what T&P says.

You mean when area has been socially cleansed of the working class.

I took photos will post up.
I was cringing when I saw the hoardings. I did think this is inappropriate given the area. Sends out wrong message.

Given that at meetings I attended residents from the estate said they didn't want LJ Works to be anything like Pop these hoardings are PR mistake.
Remember at same meetings Council said they had learnt from mistakes of Pop and it would not happen in LJ.
What is it with Council? That they do this?

Full on gentrification of LJ is unlikely unless the Loughborough Estate is "regenerated". Which I don't see happening at this time. LJ has large working class population slap bang in centre of it. Its not like that in central Brixton.
I was down in home town Plymouth and its same their. Plymouth always has had large , for South West, concentration of working class in one area. If you have money you live outside Plymouth. Its nearby villages one sees "gentrification".
Plymouth Council has made attempts to support "regeneration" and it hasn't really worked. As my brother said average income in Plymouth is four thousand less than Exeter.
Like LJ Plymouth isn't that desirable. Due to large existing working class population.
I went on pub crawl around docks in Plymouth on weekend with brother , where we grew up, still pretty well working class pubs. Rather liked it.

Interesting that 'LJ Works for Locals' is the penultimate pitch

Made me wince too.
So misguided
Also, anyone who uses "creative" as a noun can get in the sea
They're never very creative either.
What are they? Portrait artists? Virtuoso musicians?
Nope, they design logos - or think of ad slogans.

That is fucking awful. Full Nu-Brixton-Think stuff.
"LJ Works for Thinkers". What does that even mean?

Have they got planning permission - or is this by divine revelation?

A mysterious building. Every now and again I see builders going in and out. But nothing gets finished.
And the save more shop has been closed for ages.

I've always had a soft spot for JW's always at arm's length though - German JW's under Hitler refused to do the Hitler salute and suffered the same fate as Jews, Communists and other anti-Nazis. They self build their Kingdom Hall's with volunteers where possible so are very self-reliant. Probably fucks up their kids though sadly. Seem to be a lot of Portuguese JW's peddling their pamphlets around London atm.

My wife's family was royally fucked up by the JWs. Her father was brought up in the faith, but when he came of age and left they chastised and isolated him.

Someone I work with hates Jehovah witness. When he was at school s classmate died as his parents were Jehovah witness. They will not have blood transfusion. For themselves or the young children they have. So the person I worked with friend at school died. Due to refusal of parents for blood
He can't stand them.
