My Grandfather was born before the days of safety razors and tells me that Navy personnel were able to petition to avoid shaving on account of delicate skin (something about the salt water and fresh air). I think anybody who could grow a beard would have done.
Gentrification as an effect happens when an area becomes more desirable to live in. That means here that people place a positive value on public transport.
To deny an area the benefit of public transport based on some weird altruistic and paternalistic motive doesn't really seem credible.
It's really tail wagging the dog too. To say we should just keep areas shitty or undesirable to avoid gentrification seems totally backwards.
for lots of people here it'll revisit some material you learnt at school but it does go further and the materials are fantastic and the exam at the end is no pushover either.
