The Liberal Lie About Gentrification

Gentrification is perhaps unique among purported societal wrongs in that its most vociferous critics stand at its vanguard. An almost too-pat example is Cea Weaver, the tenant advocate appointed by New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who once declared that there were no good gentrifiers and that home ownership was a “weapon of white supremacy”, only to burst into tears outside her Crown Heights apartment when the press questioned her about her mother’s $1.6-million home in Nashville.
