I don’t even need to watch this video. Gary is prime real estate right now. The number 1 Casino in the area (Chicago included). City has a great mayor and they just released bids for new construction homes. Miller Beach is booming. Downtown & Aetna are getting a lot of attention as far as construction and blight removal.

Best weed man outside of Chicago is located in Gary..

Nah..

They're waiting for the mainstream to say the coast is clear once they've convinced as many black residents they can that the city is a lost cause like Detroit and leave. Then the developers will show up 10x harder than they are right now with new construction barely cheaper than the Chicago suburbs.

I was planning on buying a second, cheaper property in Georgia in a few years but with family in the Chicago/Milwaukee area and the writing already on the wall, Gary is starting to look like a better launchpad.

The same thing that happened to urban areas that were mainly black in the US, it got gentrified and taken when certain people take a interest in the area....

Gary's proximity to Miller Beach, Chi, Michigan, and to a lesser extent Indy make it perfect candidate for revitalization....

:whew:

where you from bruh, how you know so much about Gary and the region?

I grew up in GI, IU area to be exact.

Fun fact, before the great flight, blacks were confined/redlined to live north of I-94. when we started moving south, the flight continued to the suburbs, Gary declined rapidly because the jobs left first.. the flight continues as they build out Crown Point further.

I have hope in the current mayor, met him a couple times, good dude


I’m from Chicago. I have had family living all over Indiana my whole life. During covid we got a house in Indiana. Dudes are discussing Gary’s past, not its present or future.



Michigan City will be also be a city to watch. They are about to boooooooooom
