Buy property. Don't fukk up where you live.

Or simply rent and don't be a fukk up where you live.

Cats thinking that just cause they live there and pay the landlord, and leaving their hood the way it is instead of improving it, means that it should be like that.

Former Bronx Borough Courthouse to host art exhibition

The hulking Melrose behemoth, dubbed the “Grey Lady” due to the unblindfolded statue of Justice above the entryway, will be transformed into a sprawling art space curated by No Longer Empty.
the Bronx, the beaux-arts building, which has been empty for 37 years and once symbolized the rough-and-tumble “Bronx is burning” era of the 1970s and ’80s, is finally getting a second chance.

“It’s going to be great,” Weinstein said as he showed off the work being done on two of the mezzanine levels. “A project like this will encourage others to look at the building differently.”

The project curators hope the collection of local and international artists that take up residency will agree.

THE BRONX is the least affordable county in the country for renters, a new report shows.

Tenants in the city’s northernmost borough can expect to spend a whopping 68% of their earnings on rent — or almost $2,000 a month for a three-bedroom apartment, according to a RealtyTrac.com study.

The real estate company analyzed more than 500 U.S. counties, using rental data from the U.S. Department for Housing and Urban Development to compile the list.

It compared the average fair market rent of a three-bedroom apartment and divided the annual median household income of each county.

@tremonthustler1 defend your borough b.

The lower income residents are against gentrification because they feel their neighborhood is losing their culture and they are being driven out. But ironically they also complain that there's not enough investment in their areas but when gentrification happens they complain.

Areas can be invested in without gentrification occurring..

I spoke to ock awhile back in the grocery store and he told me this..

NY treats small businesses the same as they do big businesses..

Which means nikkas are basically breaking even or have lil profit...

As far as rent in the Bronx...

nikkas are on section 8 or subsidized housing..

Unless you in riverdale or something, nikkas aint paying that much for any rent
