It comes in the form of upper-income homebuyers moving into 'blighted' neighborhoods and turning them around so that tax rates and real estate prices skyrocket till the families who've lived there for generations can't afford to stay. It also comes in the form of 'private operators' taking over formerly public schools. Again, the community is gradually displaced as outsiders arrive in the wake of supposedly 'desirable' schools. Just my 2 cents.
