ED is becoming less diverse as a result of recent Demog. changes (Lounged)
German Lux replied to snorky's topic in The Lounge
Actually yes. We should discuss this. Out of the 5 families that have moved out of my street this year, 4 of them are black. A lot of the shops that catered to the large Afro-Caribbean community that's traditionally been a big feature of East Dulwich have disappeared - Jerk Rock, the Afro barber shop that's become sugar. I'll expect The Irish Shop and Thomas More Hall to become some posh cheese shop and giant baby accessories megastore in the next couple of years. House prices have risen yeah yeah yeah, but it's becoming a depressingly homogenous white middle class enclave as a result. Is gentrification always an economic form of ethnic cleansing ?
