The only long term solution to housing shortages is to build more housing. Gentrification is merely a byproduct of newcomers having nowhere else to go. Short of enacting segregation ordinances there is nothing that can be done to stop newcomers from moving into neighbourhoods in search of cheaper rent other than to build new, denser housing for them.
