Yes. It's not that gentrifiers "should just" not move in, it's that they should recognize that they are moving into an existing community and seek to become part of it, rather than remold it to suit their desires. They "should just" drop the frontier mentality that tells them the neighborhood they're moving into is empty -- because it usually isn't, and because what happens next is sadly predictable.
