It's getting like that in Atlanta too, fortunately my parents own their house in the burbs and a couple of properties in the city, all which will be left to me and my sisters

For all the times I've read this, I have never heard this uttered ever.The bronx is next. They're calling the South Bronx "SoBro" now.
The BX is gentrification proof. The only way to gentrify it is to nuke it.

Back in action :shaq:
I rather deal with hipster white folks than hood trash

Once my hood started getting gentrified, hood nikkas started vanishing.

Gentrification is not the problem.
Displacement as a result of gentrification is the problem.
Small example: I don't mind a new store. What I DO mind is that chain store taking over a milk plant store that kept basic shyt like bread and milk super cheap for the community and was around for 44 years. That hurts more than it helps.

Street signs say Amsterdam Avenue and St. Nicholas Avenue. Those streets don't exist in Brooklyn. That's an intersection in the Heights
Funny skit though. Northern Brooklyn is pretty much a done deal in terms of gentrification
There's a St. Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, I used to live off of Starr and St. Nicholas. I was trying to see what the cross street was in the video but couldn't make it out. Then some of the cutaway scenes, the area did look mad familiar, but couldn't be sure it was actually my old hood.
Yeah Northern Brooklyn been done gentrification wise. Greenpoint and Williamsburg was basically dunzo by the time 2000 rolled around. By the time I left in 2005, Bushwick was starting to feel the heat.
if there's a train nearby with easy access to Manhattan then it's only a matter of time

Your scenario is really kinda not true. Most of the time the chain store is able to offer it for cheaper than the other store and replaces it because of simply how business works. A place being around for 44 years means nothing

That scenario really happened though. The store just went out of business because it was situated on a shytload of land people wanted to redevelop

The Bronx has always had easy access to Harlem. Doesn't change having to actually take the 4/5/6 north of 86th street which is only something outsiders want to do when going towards Yankee Stadium. it doesn't change the fact that you still have to live in a borough that's mostly park space and projects and that's not gonna change anytime soon. If anything the influx of new residents that move to the Bronx come from Harlem and the heights
like "they" wanted to come to Bushwick/BedStuy
. inability to afford manhattan drives most to find new territories to claim, when the w'burgs and bushwick's get too croawded and expensive, they'll be looking for a new place to plant the flag.
