The TEABAG idea and the money



A general drawing of how gentrification changes things.




This is the money idea, where a big bill comes into a community and covers up the poor coins and eventually forces them to leave.




Okay, I'm thinking of a tea bag that will represent a little community that no one knows but once it's open by someone people start to look at it more and more. The tea bag going into the hot water represents a little community mixing into the big melting pot (the investors and the rich people). Even if it's only the tip of the tea bag that gets into the water, the water will creep up little by little and eventually soak up the whole tea bag. The hot water will get rid of everything that was there. Even if the tea bag dries up the original favor will be gone. Maybe something like "it will never be the SAME again?"
