While it is easy to lay blame on the Drake, there are other factors to consider in this complex debate. Personally, I find gentrification to be a hard topic to wrap my head around &#8212; it deals with the conflicts of class, income, community &#8220;ownership,&#8221; and a whole bunch of complex issues about capitalism. If that last sentence seems jumbled and disjointed, then you can understand what is going on in my head. The gentrification debate deserves a full-length feature in <em>Spacing<\/em>, and I certainly don&#8217;t  want to try and tackle it in a short and glib blog post.
