I don't have all the answers. It's a complicated question.

That said, there are two points that I would make. First, I think it's at least possible that you can move these people out without replacing them with the hipster gentrification train - at least in theory, I don't see why this is the only thing that can fill the void.

Second, I think a lot of the answer probably comes down to having a balanced economy - towards having good, well-paying working class jobs, to having a social safety net, to not having tons of poverty, to not having massive class inequalities. I think that's an enormous part of it that affects these topics in a myriad of ways - I think you're going to have less crime and blight, and I think you're going to have more people who aren't hipsters who can afford to move into a place, and all that. And I think in general, there are ways to combat urban blight besides gentrification - I mean, we say these are bad neighborhoods, but I don't think there's really that many places where everyone who lives there is bad, you know? It's always more complicated, and I think a lot of the answer has to do with the good people who are already living there.
