Discourage gentrification using taxation.

Discourage owning empty homes with taxation.

Make evictions more difficult, even for squatting.

Require mixed use and prohibit office-only / mall-only areas and McMansions.

Gentrification is the problem? Not real estate investment trusts buying up single family homes? Turn off your TV.

Nothing says that problems have to be mutually exclusive.

Gentrification is a racist term that reduces market forces on housing down to "white middle class people need to stop moving into previously lower class areas."
