I can't speak for Georgina, but my reading is that she would like more cinemas too. I don't think she is saying that cinemas cause house price increases, rather that new arthouse cinemas, cafes etc. - desirable as they may be in themselves - can also be signifiers of a gentrification of an area that squeezes out some people who grew up there.

While in Peckham there is a cinema and yet much lower house prices. Frankly there are adverse house prices everywhere. Is this an argument for cutting back on community amenities? Local businesses?
