@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.
I think this is gonna happen all over the country.

America is going to be a banana republic.

Rich people living in overpopulated megacities.

The suburbs and rural areas are going to be hell for EVERYONE.

That Atlanta thread has me somewhat optimistic that maybe that city, or even that entire state of Georgia, may became a true "safe haven" for black folks. Because everywhere else is finished.

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...
I honestly think they'll just keep those project buildings and just re purpose them into luxury condos. Those buildings have prime views of the city...especially in Manhattan.

The way gentrification has gone...it's displaced the hood into the suburbs of jersey and into Philly and now crime has skyrocketed in those areas as crime has gone down in NYC.

Yeah, you're right, they're trying to get to the city on the train in a quick bit....but I have been hearing people (young, white 20 something transplants) talk about Bay Ridge and their "adventures" down there. As if it was some rare discovery.

And there was an article on some website about how realtors were offering $900 a month 1 bedrooms in Brownsville and ENY....

TBH, seeing as how no one bothers these cac hipsters in this neighborhood, I just have a bad feeling they'll be very little problems for them trying to venture through. It just seems like black people seem to have no problem getting aggy with other blacks and leave whites alone...it's on some :wow::snoop:type shyt. No wonder these neighborhoods get gentrified so fast...

I think it's the Generational divide that's giving them more leeway. Young kids in the city have more in common with the transplants than with the old heads nowadays.

I feel that America is gonna end up like Spain soon. Spain is having it much worse to the extend that people are actually moving into the countryside over there.

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.
this was forecast since the early 90's....we had plenty of time to buy land/property.

It already is happening. A lot of the basis for gentrification is racial too...but the class element is nothing to be ignored. I've been paying way too much attention to what's going on. Black and Spanish people being displaced into the burbs and crime going up there...then whites move to the cities and magically they get better as the burbs get worse.

It's really just how America has fallen off in the terms of the death of industry. Rather than produce anything its just about turning major cities into a commodity where everything is pprofitable at the expense of its residents. And it's all marketed to young people with disposable income.

Realtors and land developers see how successful the gentrification of Williamsburg, Brooklyn is...and they want to replicate that success. Complete with endless yoga studios, doggie daycare centers, craft beer bars, vegan restaurants, expensive clothing boutiques and even more expensive music festivals.

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.

:beli:

just for the 2 bedroom apartment is $750,000?
