Gentrification fools

Lynn, Lynn. You never come out the way you went in.

In the Highlands Coalition Mayor Debate at the Ford School, the question of gentrification popped up.  The question was what will the candidates do to see that gentrification does not displace the current residents of the city.  Each candidate stated a hearty answer to help current residents stay in their homes.    Gentrification is a hot word lately.   A few townies wanted to change the image of Lynn by bringing in a different class of people.  One wanted to change the name of Lynn.  A few new downtownies they brought in, thought they could change Lynn also.   Links to this stuff is out there.

In the end what all see is that Lynners are just real people and new comers see what Lynners see.

See the love from Seth Albaum.  Seth is a new downtowner, but before he got to Lynn he was already a really real person.  Seth, in his own free time is at nearly every occurring Lynn event photographing or video taping then sharing the happenings on LynnHappens.com.

Seth is actually better than all that.  Even after he lost the Ward 5 council race by 5 votes to his challenger Jake Keo, he turned around and endorsed him.
