Do you believe that gentrification of cities unfairly displaces homeless people?

Los Angeles is in the process of converting old buildings into lofts and stores. This is right on the border of skid row; in an area where many homeless used to sleep. Do you think it's fair that they now are being moved out to make way for this? Yuor answers will be used in a survey, so please provide any of the following information that you feel comfortable providing:

age, sex, race

Thank you!

    Most definitely not, at least those old buildings gave the homeless some relatively decent shelter, now they are just as they were, completely homeless. Although they will most likely find somewhere else to roam and sleep, its still rather cruel to just outcast them like that.
