Gentrification causes residents to be driven out of their homes and forced to move elsewhere. The reason that is happening is because rent is getting more expensive which causes the people to move out. We chose this issue because this is one that needs to be discussed. This needs to be discussed because we need to figure out a way to upgrade neighborhoods and make them better without forcing people out and raising the cost of rent. We'd like the alderman to look into the issue if this petition is popular enough.
