	High tone and patronized by an affluent clientele, Esperanto and Val 21 can't help but be seen as gentrification, exhibits A and B. But "gentrification" is a loaded term, one that packs an implicit charge of classist/racist action, and as such it's worth being more specific about the term and the sentiment behind it.

	The future of Valencia, says Casenave, comes down to "making sure that the people who live there now have a similar opportunity as those who are moving in. But what we don't need are more planning meetings. What we basically need is to go to work on a plan. We need an affirmative program to ensure everyone gets a chance and a committee that steers the private sector so it functions in the community's best interest."

	Since the 1948 Urban Renewal Act, Americans have, with rare exception, made a bad thing worse when it comes to urban planning. Instead of working with what was already present, urban planners and legislators repeatedly fell for utopian schemes that called for a "clean slate," clearing run-down neighborhoods--the socially vital buildings right along with the decrepit ones--and replacing them with high-rise slabs that proved, within a year or two, to increase the very ills they were meant to heal. (Locally, the experience of the [[Fillmore Redevelopment Fillmore]] reflects how this policy wreaked havoc on a neighborhood).

(Locally, the experience of the [[Fillmore Redevelopment \|Fillmore]] reflects how this policy wreaked havoc on a neighborhood).

	Though the era of high-rise slabs seems finally behind us, gentrification can be seen as an extension of the Urban Renewal bulldozer. Certainly the term carries with it the distrust urban renewal engendered. As an area becomes more attractive to the wealthy, property values and rents, (driven by rapacious realtors and apartment managers), have been known to select against the poor and/or small businesses who can't compete with the assets of a large corporation to secure and maintain a lease. On the street, this manifests in businesses less concerned with its neighbors and more interested in who it can attract from outside the neighborhood.
