The old "Visserijdok" (fishing port) in Oostende is on the decline, just as fishing in the North Sea in general. Well, it was... Now you can watch gentrification as you walk on by. See the remains of the getty and ship, and directly beside the posh new architecture, already bulit and still getting more. I'm pretty sure that no mere mortal will be able to pay the rent, not even to speak of the former fishers... Well, it's probably better to build something new instead of leaving ruins, and if people can afford it, why not. At least they are not "upgrading" normal flats for normal people to flats for rich people kicking out the normal ones.
