This article defines gentrification as “a process of neighborhood change involving the migration of wealthier residents into poorer neighborhoods and increased economic investment” (Ordway, 2014). In other words, slowly moving out the poor out of their affordable housing in order to make it more into a middle-class environment. This article states that things will be better for certain environments if the area is gentrified. This article makes me want to know more about if this is something that is institutionalized as far as is something that actually wealthier people want to do in order to change and improve poor communities.https://journalistsresource.org/studies/economics/real-estate/gentrification-urban-displacement-affordable-housing-overview-research-roundup

TRUE! look into the way politicians believe gentrification can HELP poor people and if their ideas are actually TRUE or if they are flawed. VERY good idea for a lit review. Your thesis would then position you as a person who is suspicious of these politicians or agrees with them completely.
