Locals get priced out of their own apartments, and have to move out, due to the demand for a now-trendy neighbourhood.

This is not what gentrification originally meant. Gentrification meant taking over a crime ridden neighbourhood and cleaning it up. However there are plenty of eeyores out there who must find something wrong with what is a great step in urban renewal.
