Demonstrating how East Austin is losing its unique character and gradually fading away

Argument of economy growing, this is a use of Logos, as the audience will have the tendency to believe that it might be reasonable for gentrification to happen as it is good for the economy

Example of a CLT already in Austin.

But when we let gentrification erase the communities that built that culture, we lose more than just old buildings. We lose people, stories, and connection. The Guardian, one of the sources, stated “Without strong, targeted policies, the damage from gentrification is often irreversible, leaving cities more unequal and culturally sterile.” So what can be done? In my Project 3, I argued for two main policy approaches. First is rent control. Second is anti-displacement support for local businesses and homeowners.

Let's talk about rent control. It's not some radical concept. It's just a way to limit how much a landlord can increase rent in a year. That gives people a little more stability. It makes it harder for sudden price hikes to displace people from their homes. I combine emotional appeal with evidence and a clear call to action by showing how gentrification erases not just places but people and culture, then shift into a solutions-based approach using my own research and credible sources to argue for fairer housing policies like rent control.
