In reality means. People with a certain income live somewhere, people with another income come. These people have mostly a bit more money, a bit different lifestyle, a bit different appareance. First they are a few brave one, then more less brave ones. The landlords a re happy cause the less brave ones pay more money. shops are opening, shops for the new one who different interest. So there is need and need brings money. than the people who are living here are still here, but not long anymore, cause to high prizes, to different people, too many changes.

The coachsurfers I was living with are also part of the gentrification of this area. They are not as rich as some people, but they are more rich than some people live here.

 Laila tells me that is usual. Lot of places like that in India. Different classes mixing. At the moment say are sharing spaces. I am wondering how the area looks like in 5 years.
