Not everyone who lives in the west side is a wealthy college professor or offshore investor (yet). Many working/professional class people lived (and continue to) in the area settling for a smaller house and a shorter commute. Its just the neighborhood upsized itself so drastically in the past 2 decades. If I lived there all my adult life raising 2 or 3 kids in my cozy house finally paying off the mortgage in my 50s you're damn right I would be pissed to.

Yes, I would be pissed off if I was them.

But young people are pissed off too when they can't even get into a one bedroom shoebox.

This city is dying.
