The other take is that a neighborhood that has a vibrant art scene is one that people want to live in not that they want to supplant the current population living there. Theres a natural draw to live there.

The real cause of gentrification is failing to build enough housing, which means people can't move in without displacing others. It causes a zero sum mentality.

Build. More. Housing.

Yes, build more housing, but, art scenes don’t happen in housing, they happen in spaces that people can turn into their community spaces.

Also build more community spaces.
