Blacks in LA, didn't move to the IE or South Bay because of the high cost of living in LA in the 80's.
The immediate problem was crack and gang warfare.... not that the rent was too high.
it's a poor example.
Ayo niccas wasn't exaggerating about this Brooklyn Gentrification

Then it'll be the nyc blackout 2015 version.
Not like 77 or 2003....
somebody make this with a cop hat on it.
Reading is fundamental
You yourself said Paramount is neighboring Compton which is exactly what i was getting at. My point is that blacks who arent hightailing out of the state where gentifiction is taking place. Are now going to move to the neighboring communites. In your own words
"because they are wide open and low cost"
They did it in the 80s for those reasons. And now they are going to do the same again cause of gentrification
Nothing more nothing less

I think upstate ny is a bad idea. Nothing up there but decaying rustbelts..
Well anyway... blacks should know what time it is, because all of these cities are getting hit. Any blacks still in NYC in the coming years, they better have money.

From my experiences the amount of college educated and affluent black professionals is minute compared to everyone else who is actively gentrified a neighborhood. Blacks are the absolute last party to take advantage of it.
You clearly don't understand what gentrifcation is.... or you think it only consists of what white people do.
You do realize that when black professionals with their nice college degrees and middle class incomes...move into lower income black neighborhoods ....they become gentrifiers
how do you think black lower income neighborhoods, become black middle class neighborhoods...and those middle class neighborhood become black upper class ones?
You need to stop with this. I don't get what point you're trying to make by saying gentrification isn't racial when it absolutely 100% is. Are you trying to make white people who might see this thread feel less...guilt ridden? Are you trying to make it seem like black people are actually winning get this fighg...or that equality is act laid down for all of those who wish to come into a situation to actually be a "gentrifier"? Cause all of it is absolutely disingenuous and completely void from reality.

I missed this post and I do sympathize with you since this is something my mom and grandma has had to go through back home.
So I pose a question to you, if you were to own a building in NYC with 70 apartments...you have an opportunity to rent to 2 tenants.
Tenant 1 can pay $600 a month for the foreseeable future
Tenant 2 can pay $2000 a month for the foreseeable future
You don't know who they are, you don't know what race they are...who would you rather rent to?
Now, your point about forcing tenants out is a valid one and I will get personal yet again in this thread.
These scenarios in NYC happen all the time, you are a landlord who owns a property who has had a tenant for 20+ years...their rent is significantly lower than everyone else as a result. Why not offer an incentive to leave? Is this wrong? I am not sure it is, in fact I think if you play your cards right you can benefit greatly IF you play your cards right.
My grandma was "forced out" or should I say...given a financial incentive to move about 14 years ago. What was the incentive? A huge cash bonus immediately upon moving out, now one might say that it's crazy to leave an apartment that you are only paying $150 or so per month in a desirable neighborhood in NYC, but my mom, myself, my sister, and my uncle advised her that it was probably a worthwhile move IF she would invest the money into a property that she can call her own.
What did she do? She took the money and ended up moving to the bronx. My grandma is on Social Security now and her years working takes care of all that stuff, the cash she received? She bought land AND started building a house in the Dominican Republic as a result...again there are opportunities out there, you just have to know when to take advantage of them. My grandma "Sold Out", but everyone started seeing the writing on the wall...she was in a position in where the rising cost was going to price her out eventually anyway and ended up in a much better position as a result of it.
I would assume that my mom will be in this position in about 4 years from now and seeing how my grandma handled it, the incentive to eventually "leave" Washington Heights will more than likely cover a nice chunk of a down-payment on a condo/house somewhere up there OR use the incentive with her savings to straight out BUY a house somewhere out west and retire comfortably if she pleases.

You're speaking of gentrification and it's negative aspects.... not what gentrification itself is.

Moving into a neighborhood =\= gentrification... Were the previous residents poor? I think you need to read closely on the definition on the word you want to argue about.But there is

@Liquid I think you have your head in the sand... according to you its just a coincidence that blacks and latinos are being priced out of their own neighborhoods.
Black ppl getting pushed out their neighborhood by CAC. They should've owned it, that would have prevented it

The settlements in Palestine arent Jewish only... Its just that no Arabs want to live in them, that's all.
So if there is a settler only highway, it isnt a jewish only highway.
This is the same nonsense logic you guys are using.

i hate hipsters, they try to hard.....that's the problem with white folks as a whole...the only sincere whits are the poor ones...but whites are so robotic...everything for them is so planned, its like they have to create an identity for themselves instead of just being natural
thats why they were attracted to NYC in the first place...minorities made that shyt what it is
cacs think by throwing $ at everything it makes it better, but it just sucks the soul of it, thats why the hood have way more life than the suburbs

How is my head in the sand? Two of my family members have been or are IN that position this very moment and have been aware of this for most of my life. Care to put some context behind your accusation? I am not dismissing your argument, but just basing your position purely on race is dismissing that most of these people are in it to capitalize.
Do you think if we were in the same position we wouldn't be doing the exact same thing and offering our places to the highest bidder? You cannot be serious here...

And what post did I make that indicated that it was purely race driven? It's a conjuction of racial politics and economics which are linked closely especially in relation to neighborhoods.
