this is all the more obvious in the state I live in, Florida. Around here, there are only a few homeless shelters and HUD or poorer homes, but there are TONS of richer people moving into the area. Practically every chunk of land has been demolished to build expensive (but terribly built) housing for these new people. Meanwhile, the poor are actually being forced out of their homes so that more houses can be built for the people coming in. Basically, there are very few places left for anyone that is in the lower class, and this town isn't some sort of tourism capital or retirement home.
but don't take it from me, anyone can see the effects of gentrification (which is what I thought Ian said somewhere in the song)
