You’ve described a set of bad places that then became undersupplied exactly in lock-step with them becoming desirable…?

I think you missed my point. The places were "bad" for some and "good" for others.

		The empty places were by definition good for few people, typically people who couldn’t afford better places. Artists don’t move into neighborhoods because they’re cool, they move in because they’re cheap. They’re cheap because, by definition, people don’t want to live there.
