Gentrification

encompasses a number of processes of change in demographics, land uses and building conditions in an area, accompanied by rapid increase in a neighborhood’s property prices and

influx of investment and physical remodelling and renovation. In many cases, the lower-income residents who originally lived in the neighborhood have to move out of the

neighborhood because they can no longer afford to live there. Sound familiar?

A trend is something that somehow becomes popular within mainstream society over a long

period of time. It is the direction of a sequence of events that has some momentum and durability.

A fad is something that is very popular with a small group of people

for a short period of time.

Despite the negative or counterproductive results of crazes and fads, some companies still in business today began by purposely or

accidentally creating a fad or craze.

created again, and it’s yours if you WIN this contest, playa.
