If you spent any time in the GA TECH architecture building the last few years, you would have seen this term a lot.

The final two graphics in the article cover the Atlanta area but there is also a good commentary about new money not building new houses but buying old ones.

If you’re poor and concerned about displacement or loss of support services or loss of neighborhood businesses catering to low incomes, it could read as a negative story…

Eye of the beholder, I guess.

(Though I did note the word “sprawl” was not used. Maybe we need a word for reverse sprawl.)
