Demographics + Democracy + Gentrification = ?

Many say that in its essence gentrification is the process of replacing the socially impoverished/disadvantaged with yuppies.

What kind of homogenous, bland, singular culture do we as a democratic nation wish to allow?

We vote the politicians in, but it is often the property developers money that pays for the
marketing campaigns that facilitate their election. Therefore, who are they really working for?
