Ironic Gentrification

Overheard today from one of the hosts of a yard sale, who was explaining to a customer that the Columbia Heights group house holding the sale was being forced to move because the property had been sold: "we're being gentrified out of the neighborhood we were gentrifying."

I shouldn't laugh at this, but I just can't help myself. However as someone that lived in a shared group house in Mt. Pleasant and had to go through the same thing years ago, I can relate.
