Gentrifier

The internet slang term “Gentrifier” refers to a person or group that brings changes and improvements to a neighborhood, often resulting in the displacement of lower-income residents and the transformation of the area’s character. It is commonly used to criticize those who contribute to gentrification, typically seen as negative.

Examples:

1. Many people argue that the new coffee shop, trendy boutiques, and upscale apartments popping up in the once-affordable neighborhood are all the work of gentrifiers.

2. Some users online believe that gentrifiers only care about their own interests and are insensitive to the negative impact their actions may have on long-time residents.
