Ayo niccas wasn't exaggerating about this Brooklyn Gentrification

[HIVAIDS]

They're like the borg.

Resistance is futile

The amount of homeless black people and just black people begging for change I see out here is disturbing.

I'm moving out in two years time. I'm sick of seeing it and I'm sick of seeing these bougie racist hipster crackers everywhere.

Surely these liberal crackas are hiring nikkas. Surely.

if the city becomes safer isn't that a good thing?

fukk no. If the city is safer but the city looks nothing like New York, it's not New York anymore. Ut might as well just be Ohio.

Whatever makes you feel good, but the Big Apple did not become the capital of the world just because of Black people in Harlem & Puerto Ricans in the South Bronx

Artists, writers, musicians and other visionaries made New York what it is. That includes minorities but, it included whites too. Point is, those creative types can't live in New York anymore. Ben the Investment Banker didn't make New York hot. Charles the Upper East Side Trust Fund baby didn't make New York hot. That's all who can afford to live there now. I say let them have it You acting like it's not entirely plausible for a new city to do to New York what New York did to London a century ago.

Its nonsense really. I'm from Toronto which after NYC is probably the second ground zero for gentrification.
In a place like Queen West/Parkdale, many of the gentrifiers are actually black. There is a huge influx of black hipsters in the area and a whole new scene evolving in that area. I think it's obvious however that they are not condo developers or bar owners and therefore their mere existence does not change the fact that it is largely white establishment driven. The neighborhood is being made acceptable for a monies white majority with businesses largely frequented by whites so whether or not black people are there is inconcequential.

Toronto is not getting gentrified by blacks in the slightest. Toronto gentrification is 100% cacs, Arabs and Asians -- and it sucks, but then Canada has a racist immigration policy which privileges Asians, Arabs, etc and not blacks. Blacks can't afford to live in the Queen West area so they can't "gentify" it at all.

I agree with this, thats why I said it. Read closely.

Where do you live?

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

well, insterad of "reppin BK" in the 80s and 90s, u nyggas should a bought property and invested within the community

One of the reasons gentrification can happen so rapidly, is because by the time you see it happening... it's already too late.

it's not like cats are on trulia, zillow etc. just lurking property values and socioeconomic conditions to know when they need to tool up and fight the gentrifiers

No it isn't what you said. You said: "In a place like Queen West/Parkdale, many of the gentrifiers are actually black." <-- this is wrong

But it isnt wrong... Have you ever been there? That doesnt mean a majority or even a sizeable
Minority are black. It is just worth noting that they do exist and their existence is not relevent to the discussion at large.

What? Blacks can't afford to live in Queen West unless they're in government housing. Blacks aren't gentrifying Queen West or Parkdale, bruh.

Ultimately , it all boils down on us we should of copped property back when it was actually affordable , but at the same time you can't downplay the pivotal effect the crack epidemic had , even though I wasn't alive for all lat , it's evident the first priority on people mind wasn't to purchase buildings when numerous heads was strung out & nikkas was copping kilos to flip instead and when you come from poverty and see that type of bread overnight you're not going to be the most intelligent when it comes to economics and estate , your going to have a whole other agenda with that paper . Plus no one would foreshadow that New York would turn out like this when you're peaking at 2000+ murders to less than 500 15 years later , Some cats who were exposed to that weren't prepared nor ready for that change and had no chance to adapt , some did but not a majority . Also cats need to know how cocaine/crack ended up in most inner cities as well but that a whole nother topic . I ain't gonna say my post was accurate though because like I said I wasn't alive for all that even though I remember seeing crack viles & needles on the floor in the early 00s I know it was on a whole different echelon back then
