you know what's gonna happen right?

Gentrification will continue and in about 20-30 years NYC will lose all of it's cultural richness & diversity that makes it a cool place currently, the white people there will get bored and bolt en mass.

@Poitier said it a while ago. NYC is going to become the rich, upscale, gated community of the US.

shyt's gonna be like 90% white and asian.

Gotta find the slim silver lining somehow. Look at it this way, when World War 3 kicks off and the bombs start falling, it'll be cacs who will die most now. It used to bug me out considering how many black people lived in urban areas when they'd hit major cities. With gentrification underway it'll be them that gets to watch some atoms split over their head. Once chaos ensues, those remnants they couldn't price out gonna be real :demonic:.

Same thing is happening (happened) to DC.

Cacs all up and through Florida and New York Aves......walking dogs and shyt with earphones giving zilch fukks.

*no thread derail

Basically, I live on the south side of town and them cacs movin up Penn Ave, Minnesota Ave, Branch Ave...I see a lady jogging at night down MLK, by that school by Anacostia station.

NYC is no different, soon they'll start tearing down PJs and put up condos that'll price out most of the original resisdents. I think I saw an article a while back saying they doing this nation wide to a lot of inner city project housing...

Funny video.

This is mostly happening in Queens and Brooklyn, and to a smaller degree...in upper Manhattan.
The cutoff for whitey used to be like 95th but I've heard they've infiltrated up to like 115th.

You know it's gonna be a wrap once it gets into the Bronx.

I dont think that'll happen tho. Maybe to a degree, but again, people are attracted to NYC b/c of it's diversity. The cultures, the foods, the variety, hearing other languages, etc. If the majority of blacks, latinos, other immigrants and descendants of immigrants cant afford to live there anymore, then the cultures will all die out. The attractiveness will be gone

A lot of the diversity and arts of NYC already died out, breh.

As much of a shyt hole as NYC was back in the 1970s and 1980s...it had way more of soul than it does now.
Pretty soon NYC will just be the eastcoast San Francisco....which is to say....cool city...but fukk if anyone can afford to live there but rich white people and asians and nerds.

I hear ya.

I just said that cause this city ain't getting any cheaper. The cost of living is going through the roof.

Like rents in NYC went up the highest out of any city in the country....it's bad when the average apartment price for a one bedroom in Brooklyn rivals Manhattan prices.

This ain't Biggie’s Bed-Stuy: A trip to rapper’s old block after childhood home hits the market for $725,000

Rapper Biggie Smalls may have idolized his old neighborhood in his tunes, but these days Clinton Hill isn’t loving him back.

A Sotheby’s outpost in Park Slope recently put the iconic entertainer’s childhood apartment on the market with an asking price of $725,000, naming “historic Clinton Hill” as one of the flat’s many selling points — without one word about Notorious B.I.G.

“It’s not a historic museum,” sniffed broker Judith Lief, scoffing at any mention tying 226 St. James Pl., #3L to Biggie.


Take over neighborhoods and refuse to acknowledge its legends, brehs.
