The Gentrification of Oracle Arena

The topic of gentrification is discussed in the Bay Area as much as the Warriors themselves these days. Displacement of poor communities by wealthy outsiders generally carries a negative connotation. But in the case of low to middle class Golden State Warriors' fans, the gentrification of Oracle Arena is a swirling yin-yang of both good and evil.

Good in the sense that the Warriors are obliterating every team and record that boldly stands in their path; but with this good comes an underbelly of evil. Everybody wants a piece of the Warriors now that they are successful.
