So what's the solution then?

We've talked about this a lot in this thread.

1.Ownership
2.Voting block

For decades, only affordable housing builders would set foot in the South Bronx, but now, a normally neglected slice of New York City is is finally getting some market-rate attention, in the form of new hotels.

Demand for short-term lodging is sky-high throughout the city, with hotel builders picking up M-zoned parcels from East Flatbush to Chelsea, and a number have sprouted throughout the South Bronx over the past few years.

And now, a new building permit filing reveals another, designed by James Y. Cheng and headed for 335 Grand Concourse. The 75-key, nine-story hotel will mean nearly 30,000 square feet of new construction on the corner of East 140th Street, just a short walk across the Madison Avenue Bridge to East Harlem.

“It will be a high-end hotel,” said developer Sarjay Patel when reached by YIMBY yesterday afternoon. He sees the hotel as primarily serving the courthouse complex at East 161st Street, as well as Hostos College and Lincoln Hospital on East 149th Street. The project will also be within walking distance of Yankee Stadium.

Patel noted the hotel would also “be targeting the Manhattan market,” with the nearby 138th Street subway station located just one stop from the island, offering express train service down the East Side.

Bu bu but NY eats its people and couldnt own anything when it was cheap back in the 80s

1. Support black businesses
2. Pool your money together to create businesses or job opportunities for blacks.
3. Store your money in a black owned bank.
4. Purchase buildings

Own your fukking houses. That's pretty much the only solution. At least then if you sell it to some hipsters you have no one to blame but yourself.

also, i would say do this in certain connected neighborhoods. Ideally dominate a large part of or an entire county or a large city. Southeastern Queens will be key. Blacks need a solid enclave in which we live in or they should just go down south

 

[ManBearPig]

Move south!

Florida and TX are cool


The rest tho

nikkaz say new Yorkers are moving into Florida, Georiga, and the Carolinas by storm so they are doing just that lol

Southeastern Queens is already like this, you will not see a single non black face in most areas.

I think there are actually a lot of homeowners too, in places like Cambria Heights. As other posters have said, owning your homes is the only thing you can really do.
