I still do not know how I feel about gentrification. But I do know that concentrated poverty does not work. Mixed income communties have been shown to build the economy of a community. But I think we also have to remember that communties change. There are communities that use to be italian than irish then african american. Few older communities have had one constant demographic. Someone refered Compton, it started off a white suburb (george bush lived there) then african americans moved in and now it is 80% Mexican/Salvadorian.
