Gentrification

  • Wealthy buyers able to pay more for a property than the indigenous population, can result in local people unable to buy in their home town, village, etc. e.g. areas of London and scenic Welsh holiday homes.  Local farm workers on relatively low incomes become unable to afford to live in the area causing resentment.
