When did gentrification happen?

After reading some of the recent posts here, I wanted to ask...

I moved to Davis Square area in 2005. It seemed to me that gentrification had already happened. Is that people's sense? Was I a gentrifier? Did it happen since then and I wasn't paying attention? I'm sort of perplexed it is coming up in discussions in the recent election because it seems like this happened a long time ago.

Appreciate you being patient with my ignorance. Welcome people's thought though.

In the late 80s, I lived off of Moody Street near the Auburndale border. That stretch of Moody near the river was the only place outside of Boston's combat zone that I saw ladies plying their "trade".
