damn gentrification is hitting the south now?


it really is a nationwide phenomenon. this country will look so different in 2030.


i'll say this...

i did a thesis paper on this subject and the facts are blacks are fleeing non-gentrifying neighborhoods just as fast as they are fleeing gentrifying neighborhoods

there are two trends at work here. it isn't as simple as 'white people driving everyone out.'

I go back to my old crown heights hood every now and then and an AMAZED st the transformation. shyt, two weeks ago I drove thru BEDSTUY, a block from marcy projects, at like 11pm and the amount of whites walking carefree had me literally :wtf: ing. That shyt used to be deadstuy back in the day.

I wouldn't be mad except that when you have 3/4 hipsters sharing a 2 bedroom, rents skyrocket.

land in cities are always scarce, population grows.

A dusty old apartment building for the poor or a condo with units selling for 200k plus in the heart of the city

Hmm
