My NYC Black Folk......Gentrification

[88m3]

It's been pretty noisy the last night few nights

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

A bloody eclipse night struck 10 shooting victims in New York.

A bloody 10-hour shooting spree left five people dead and another five wounded across the city in a violent start to the weekend, cops said.

All of the killers — including one with a mouthful of gold teeth — remained on the streets as police reported no arrests in the eight incidents of gunfire that started and ended in the Bronx.

The carnage began at about 6 p.m. Friday when a gunman opened fire on Tyrek Singleton, 28, and a friend outside the Adams Houses on Tinton Ave. in the Bronx.

the gap is already here. they just opened up a Joes Crab Shack by the Apollo.

and on 125th and Lenox (on the corner) they are building a big ass Whole Foods with some apartments on top of the building.

Harlem has been claimed.

Spanish Harlem, on the other hand, has a built in resistance because of the sheer amount of projects in that area. They will literally have to knock them shyts down and put something else in their place in order to make it like the other side of Harlem.

I was on 125th yesterday seems like the whole hood was out and I may have seen 3 white people who all look like they was getting off the A and walking a few blocks south where they live. By now I'm expecting to see 125th flooded with hipsters in toms but not yet.

As far as the east side, my hood, I grew up in Washington projects, I've that that area go from mostly Rican to heavy Mexicans moving in but there are white people living in a few renovated buildings there's one on lex and 103

Nah, I used to live on 123. There is definitely a decent sized White population, I'd say 15% and rising.

 

[CashmereThoughts]

NY is gonna be interesting in 30 years, by then Flushing will be completely different and the top of SI will be Manhattan-ized.

Only of they get a subway line which ain't even in the convo they talking bout bringing one to secaucus tho

There are still parts of "regular" Harlem that will appear to be "black" because a lot of people from the BX will come out to 125th to shop instead of going all the way downtown and there's no real shopping on Fordham Road if you wanna get any items of real value.

But walk around 118th and Lenox/Adam Clayton/Frederick Douglass and it's another story in terms of who's living there.

And Spanish Harlem is cool too, but like I said, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many projects, which prevents some overwhelming gentrification. But it will happen. Just look at what the area will turn into once they finish the Second Ave Subway

 

[Poitier]

Yeah Lenox is really bad on a nice day out.

Approximately 50,000 people spend the night in NYC homeless shelters, according to the city’s Department of Homeless Services. There are more people languishing on the waiting list for public housing than there are total public housing units in NYC. There is a serious homelessness epidemic happening in NYC that has not been seen since the Great Depression. And to Mayor Michael "Foot In Mouth" Bloomberg, all of these things are first and foremost "good signs" of a vibrant economy. “Somebody said that there’s not enough housing. That’s a good sign. It doesn’t mean it isn’t a problem, but there are no vacancies,” he said.

This dude Bloomberg, just wow brehs

That's right by where I grew up. Those Spanish record stores were there long as I can remember. Props to the cops from the 90th precinct not laying a fine on my nikka, they know what's really hood.

Dumb broad, it even says on the Graham Ave street sign, "Avenue of Puerto Rico". I don't even live there anymore, and I'm not even Puerto Rican, and I was too tight reading that.

It ain't the MTA it's the mayor, they want to expand the #7 into jersery, this ain't the 1st time it came up.

The MTA says they don't have the budget but that didn't stop the T line going up on 2nd Ave.
