Cleaning the poor out of the city centre

I'm I only one of few people watching what is going on in this city?

The nicest areas of Liverpool are being cleansed of the poor.
AS anyone noticed how the whole of the city centre is being yuppified. The so called city of culture and regeneration scam is only benefitting the neo-rich. Thousands of parasites have been decending on the city since over a billion pound came into the city. Yet the avarage income of most local people has actually got worse in the city. the biggest industry for locals is call centres. On the streets of Liverpool we see cars and shops we would never have seen 10 years ago - or at least they would have been damaged - by class conscious locals. What has happend to the resistance. There must be thousands of people out there who can see what is going on. And its getting worse. Flats that use to belong to housing assocations are now going for £100 - 150 thousand, even low proffesionals could not afford these prices.
Anyway this city of culture - we the concerned and caring people of the city need to get together and start challanging this money grabbing scum.
Thats one of my rants.
Well done indymedia Liverpool.
