De Beauvoir Cycle Gang Strikes Again

Nicer for the gentrified types maybe. It's like the British Empire - plunder the land and resources of other places, and then claim that you've given them benefits they never had before, despite the fact they didn't ask for them, and were perfectly happy with their existing societal structure.

Local government investment in communities has the biggest impact, not posh types who give money to their posh friends' chic little start-ups.

Nobody was perfectly happy with Notting Hill in the 60s except Peter Rachman.

Local government expenditure does have the biggest impact, but it's usually in response to 'posh types' who pay council tax, shop locally, drink in local pubs, eat in local cafes etc, demand more police, better schools, better services, more bus routes, getting trains to serve their stations in the evening and at weekends, etc.
