  5. Healthy Gentrification • Vibrant neighborhood to live, work, enjoy, learn, explore, show off, invest, and commune • Community of engaged artists, professionals and residents • Visitors and tourists creating commerce • Pedestrian oriented

  6. Unhealthy Gentrification • Over emphasis on property development while neglecting the artists, their sustainability and other cultural assets • Artists and galleries are priced out of the neighborhood • Diminishing the vibrant and culturally magnetic atmosphere • Local artist owned shops, coffee shops, haunts, and music venues start getting replaced by franchise businesses
