Done.
@DMGAINGREEN I know what you're talking about. I'm a transplant...but I'm also a black man and I absolutely HATE Williamsburg and Greenpoint...hate going there...hate spending time there.
Also at this point in the thread expect people that have never been in new York for an extended time to chime in like they know the city like the back of their hand. Even though I'm not from here originally I will not do that shyt.

How is it a good thing if the people who live here can't afford to enjoy it?
They trying to just fukk low income people over especially at this point dude. It's not like there building low income housing or providing jobs that they can actually live one...naw. hell naw. They basically saying we want you the fukk out of here.
And all the solutions people propose...get your education up do this do that is just stupid when the people they are telling this stuff to can't even afford to go to college or get higher education or the debt that comes with it.

No it wasn't stop.
Back in the 90s to early 00s Williamsburg was murder central...like robberies, stabbings shootings on a weekly basis. Then again, people act like Williamsburg doesn't consist of bed stuy and bushwick...Two heavy low income black and Hispanic neighborhoods.
Let's not get in this dumb revisionist history spiel....it really started getting obviously changed in the mid 00s to late 00
Did Black folk talk like this during slavery?
Dude is a troll who knows nothing about NYC.
*L*E*G*A*C*Y*
Done.
Dude I did my research on gentrification in lieu of the cracks epidemic...it does seem like it was orchestrated over a long period of time. And that was the catalyst.

Give them that illusion that we care about the "community" and can communicate with them

Breh, How do you think gentrification starts? These hipsters have been gentrifying Williamsburg for almost 15 years.
Admit it breh, you recently got out of jail and the world is nothing like you remember it.

It's everywhere now. Even in my own hometown of Pittsburgh hipsters are setting up shop and driving up rent prices. I was so shocked when I went back last year....
Hipsters/millenials....The death of culture. Period.
Stats go hand and hand with the prison industrial complex.
