    I ctrl+f search for "gentrification" and nothing pops up. I close the Substack blog and proceed with my day.

          “I think people shouldn’t be displaced from their neighborhoods because of lack of affordability”

          I didn’t mention gentrification in the above sentence. Does that mean I’m ignoring the problem?
