The "g-word" is becoming one of the most talked about community issues in urban areas across the world. As development focus now heads south of the 10 freeway, the pressures of increasing housing prices are being felt in South Los Angeles. 

What exactly is gentrification? What's the historical context of it? Who is driving it? And how can it be fought while promoting better neighborhoods with the same neighbors?
