What does it mean when a community is the reason for its own economic development? The answer is complicated. I reported on "gentefication" for @VICE.
"Gentefication"—a combination of "gentrification" and "gente," the Spanish word for "people"—is happening all over the country. bit.ly/2sYrnzB

Despite being 1 of the most entrepreneurial group of people, Entrepreneurship rates amongst US Born Latino Millennial's is on the decline.
Immigrants who own a business typically do better than other immigrants, just as US born Biz owners do better than other US born workers
Immigrants make up 61% of gas statios,58% of dry cleaners,53% of grocery stores,45% of nail salons, & 32% of clothing stores #LeanStreetLean
While immigrants make up 18% of business owners overall, they make up 28% of all owners of Main Street Businesses. #MainStreetLean #Gentefy
Immigrants are about 10-15% more likely to be business owners than their U.S> Born counterparts. #MainStreetLean #Gentefy
Of the country's 4.9 million business owners, 900,000 are immigrants. That's 18% of all business owners. #MainStreetLean #Gentefy
