This is a photo I took in late September of the construction just down the block from my apartment. I live in Gentrification City (aka Denver), so construction is EVERYWHERE. There is especially a lot near me though because several years ago a big hospital moved to a new campus (that formerly was a military base). The old campus sat empty for several years as the economy in '08 wasn't developer-friendly, but then Colorado legalized pot, and ...Gentrification Time! So now all the old hospital buildings have been torn down (and one was imploded, which was loud and shook my apartment and freaked out one of my cats), and new, very likely overpriced buildings are going up. Developers keep building "luxury units" that sit empty because no one can afford them, instead of affordable units for normal people. Businesses, too, are being priced out: I've seen many local businesses I liked have their rent TRIPLED so the owner could kick them out and sell to a developer, or some such. It's depressing. Capitalism, woo...
