Blame the fact the natives never took initiative to take ownership. The old ways are long gone.[/quote]
You and a couple others have been singing that blame shyt for a minute for that I wish I could punch you in the nose... I guess that's the Brooklyn in me...
Truth is, there is a semblance of truth in what you say. Obviously (or at least I'd hope it'd be obvious), it isn't, nor was it ever, that simple. That being said, I'm past placing blame on gentrifiers or anything. I'm more interested in what many of us who live here plan on doing. As much as I'd love to say that I'll live here forever, I can see a scenario in which I no longer live here. As an aspiring law student I'd like to leave NY in 2-3 years when I graduate, make my bones elsewhere and come back in a few.

Gonna punch me in the face cause of an opinion? That is some bigoted NYPD type of shyt, especially over an opinion. If more ownership took place, then people wouldn't be up in arms right now.

Lol. Nah, It's all good. Truth be told, I'm catching feelings. I admit it. Like I said, a lot of what's being said here is true. Doesn't mean I like it, ya know? I tell people all the time that I wish I was older when a lot of these things were first starting to take place. I feel like where I stay has so much potential (Crown Heights) and I wish that people were able to come together and make some sort of impact. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. Just gotta try to hold on, finish school and do something with my life so I'll be in a good spot regardless of where I end up.
Respect to you and everyone having meaningful discussion in this thread.

most expensive properties in the city are coming down in price, a lot of what you're seeing is artificial. Also people list high to make up on the offers they receive on higher priced properties. If a property is listed at whatever its nothing to knock 2-300k of the asking price. If it's in the millions it can come down by millions often times.
