I bet that offends a few people who like to rely on political correctness.

Neighborhoods are always renewing ourselves, for better or worse.

My first house in Edmonton was in an area next to pork processing plant. Many long term workers found it convenient to buy small houses and walk to work. But the plant had shut down, but there was talk of re-opening it. That’s when I bought my house. I got it cheap because of the re-open threat (pork plants smell bad). Five years later I sold that for a good profit because it was clear the plant was not coming back. So is my profit due my white male privilege or just some business luck?

Anyways, good job in succinctly making these points that often cannot be made.
