Gay Murr Girl

Liz, Goblin, Part-Time Shark, VTuber, retired speedrunner, author, GDQ staff, Sega fan, "Yuri Sommelier", Walking Encyclopedia of All Things Useless, Twitch partner, general menace. Says "Murr" a lot. This is not a place of honor, views my own, etc. Avatar art by me.


One time when I was on one of my "I wanna form a gay commune" kicks, someone showed me some homes for sale in Detroit. They were all like a couple hundred dollars, and in the same neighborhood. Probably a bad neighborhood, all the pipes and wires probably ripped out

And I was like "Hey if people pitch in, we could buy this neighborhood, fix up the houses, and make it a big queer commune"

And he was like "Liz that's called gentrification"

in reply to @Lizstar's post:

i mean i feel like that was mostly a joke that yall didnt take seriously but just in case it wasn't: gentrification is purchasing and developing land in cheaper districts with the plan to profit from the development.

afaic, a queer commune that makes busted up housing actually liveable and then living in em rather than selling for profit isn't "gentrification."
