My NYC Black Folk......Gentrification

[tremonthustler1]

Why the hell are you people lamenting the improvement of neighborhood conditions?

because it displaces even the hard working people that don't deserve to have to be uprooted.

It's like you wrecking my car, and then buying a new car for someone else.

I'm sorry but I really don't get what the big outrage over the changing demographics. Poor people don't need to be taking up prime real estate. Working people with decent incomes need that space.

The only prime real estate in the BX is Yankee Stadium.

Hoodboogers and government assistance leeches need to be pushed into rural communities where that nonsense is less noticeable. Can you imagine how much the government would save if they put all Section 8 recipients in backwoods, rural communities? It would make city life a lot better and it would probably improve race relations across the board.

All you're doing is relocating the problem to another already filled with those same problems. It's like creating a superghetto. What people fail to understand is that there will always been a lower class, a poor class in a city. There will always be a hood in a city. That won't go away. In the BX, logistics have a lot to do with that. Not every neighborhood can look like Maspeth, Queens.

Those requirements are insanely low and that mortgage is very very affordable for a new couple or a pair of young professionals getting thier start in the city. Here I was thinking that NYC was completely inaccessible to young upstarts.

I grew up in rural America and I've observed the steady build up of Section 8 housing. It's a better enviroment than the ghettos I've seen around the country. Sure, you're not connected to the city, but it's peaceful, not as densely populated, and the schools, while not the best, are better than the inner city sh!tholes by leaps and bounds. It's far easier for a poor person to get by in rural America than it is in any major city.

The city should be for working people and those that can afford it only. Being poor here is such an awful reality for someone to endure.

The problem with your idea that cities should only essentially be for the rich is that poor + working class people are the backbone of the city. Most of the people working retail + low end jobs in the city cannot afford to live in the city... at least Manhattan. Should these people get pushed out to where they have to commute 90, 120, 150 minutes each way, to make room for some young kids who prob won't be in the city for more than 4-5 years anyway? Why do that, when they can just work shytty jobs out where they live? Then what happens to the infrastructure of the city? Youre not thinking this through.

Also your assertion that all poor people are ghetto trash is bogus but not surprising. In any case gentrification is understandable, and when contained to the private sector is fair IMO. But wholesale razings of neighborhoods with no displacement plans or input from the people who live there is wrong. And that level of gentrification is only enabled by govt action. Yes, they somewhat don't have the say that people who own property do, but that doesn't mean we should completely railroad them for a fast buck.

If you can't afford to live somewhere, you have to move. Sorry, but that's reality. Don't be poor and this won't be a problem.

And if you cant afford the whole buffalo wing don't rummage through leftover scraps. Dont even try to shyt on poor people bruh.

yes, because with the snap of a finger, the poor can simply not be poor anymore

Being broke ain't a choice.

Poverty is a mindset/mental disorder. Being in a city just makes it worse. Poors are much better off in rural communities with lower population density. Not only that, but it cost way less to provide gov't assistance.

You didn't address the post above yours

The migration to the cities in the 1st place was from rural communities because the cities offered the promise of "better" so sending people to the sticks just resets the problem

How far do you think a city gets without the bus drivers, janitors, security guards, garbage men etc?

"Inner cities" grew out of the lower middle class and working poor needing to be close to their income streams since commuting has always been expensive. Those people also usually happen to be the backbone of any city's day to day operation

I think we know what type of posters want the "poor people" to be forced to move to the suburbs.

Looks like the separation even exists in a building:

Two tales inside one Brooklyn building: Older residents reside in squalor; yuppies get shiny rehab flats   - NY Daily News

It’s a classic city tale turned nightmare for older residents in an East Flatbush apartment building that’s quickly filling up with new younger tenants getting renovated flats.
Longtime families at 201 Linden Boulevard went without water in their bathrooms for three months. Now they are battling mega landlord Israel Weinberger in Brooklyn Housing Court over rotting ceilings and walls caused by leaky pipes.
The older tenants’ legal troubles are unknown to the building’s 20-and 30-something residents paying up to triple the rent for remodeled apartments with faux granite countertops, Frigidaire stainless steel fridges, and shiny dark wood floors.
“Look at this place. This isn’t fair to us,” said third-floor resident Chris Tull, 70, standing in his empty bedroom which smells like a broken toilet.
