gentrification of the cities

 переезд Амазона в NY прекрасно иллюстрирует всемирный закон притяжения денег - деньги к деньгам, богатые все богаче а бедные все беднее. Мне понравился этот термин я раньше не встречала -  gentrification of the cities.

This concentration of wealth in the biggest and most connected cities has been going on for a long while. Last year, The Wall Street Journal detailed the ongoing urban engorgement in a series of charts—one showing, for example, that per capita personal wealth in urban areas is more than triple that in rural areas.

Moreover, as we also know, the gentrification of the cities has actually made these places more liberal and more Democratic. Yes, in a complete inversion from the past pattern, the Democrats are now the party of the rich.  That’s why, in 2016, nine of the ten richest states voted for Hillary Clinton, while nine of the ten poorest states voted for Donald Trump.
