The Gorbals was originally developed as an upmarket residential area for
rich Glaswegians who wanted to move out of the city centre.

Notting Hill in london started out as an upmarket Georgian area, then went
downmarket when all the immigrants moved in, now they're slowly buggering off
to turn somewhere else into a slum and the area had been going back upmarket
again since the 90s.

That must apply to many other areas too, such as Islington. Of course, the
development of public transport networks massively changes the character of
an area (eg, Metroland).

Slowly buggering off because the resident landlords are unable to
exploit them as much as they can the people with deeper pockets.

Happy New year to you as well. NOT.
