My NYC Black Folk......Gentrification

[tru_m.a.c]

They need to get on that subway connection asap, it'd would be great for the city. More REAL jobs(construction), also it'd lead to more development on SI's current subway line and make SI a viable option to more folks.

lol good luck on that

they're trying to rebuild/rework the tappanzee bridge and thats looking to cost folks 14 DOLLARS to cross

the population of NY ain't really about that development life

we ain't really about building a city of the future

we want that shyt....but we ain't footing the bill

I was just reading the grantland article about the NY bid for the olympics. shyt was really true, the only reason the city has been able to get brand new stadiums and construction funds was through the prospect of the olympics. Its a sad reality.

it just irks me when i see these f*cking hipsters because they basically coming from towns west and north of here with their money from mommy and daddy, jacking up the rent and forcing people that lived there for years OUT of town. i have a huge problem with that. these are the same people whose parents and grandparents did the whole white flight thing. they were told by their mommy and daddy to stay away from brooklyn because it was dangerous and were filled with black people who couldn't control themselves. all of a sudden, some kid has some balls to move to brooklyn where he basically takes over a block and some other kids do the same thing where they basically are cleaning out a neighborhood for them and people that are like them. if there's one thing that i've noticed, i've noticed that these hipsters are usually a bunch of white people that try to front like they're open minded but are in reality, ignorant as f*ck. that's my issue with them. you basically run the people that lived there for years so you can be trendy or whatever the f*ck. f*ck these hipsters.

Nothing wrong with those small apartments. If I lived in ny I'd have no problem staying in one. They've been doing it in Tokyo for decades. Extra space/stuff is overrated

I'm not spending 2k a month to live in a shoe box fukk outta here

This proposal by Bloomberg is terrible, and for what it's worth he has his good days with some of his policies...sometimes........I feel bad for folks being forced to get a studio apartment smaller than 400 square feet (standard minimum size).... ....










Exactly.



This is why I say Staten Island is a place to be appreciated and not scorned. If there was a subway connection to the island from Brookyln it would help to increase supplies of housing units across the city, without telling people that they should rent a wallet size housing unit.....sub 400 square feet.... .....

I read an article about how younger people are moving out of the Tri State area and moving to other parts of the country in record numbers. At this rate, NY will be unlivable for anyone that ain't wealthy by 2020.

What's hilarious is that the only reason those hipsters are able to move into Brooklyn is because the real thugs are either in prison or dead. So there's no one to scare them away and bully them. All the black kids are non-threatening now; wearing skinny jeans and skateboarding across Nostrand Ave. like it's Mr. Roger's neighborhood.

They see hipsters and either whisper into their man's ear on some shyt or get on their phones or go home to their computers and tweet about it

It's really weird. When I was a kid there would be gang fights in my school all the time. All the girls would date the thugs (even the quiet white girls that did their homework) and no one else.

It's nice that today's kids aren't as crazy and aggressive anymore. But I'm afraid that black men are becoming 'pussified' and less manly. Even here on the coli you'd have guys who brag about having women pay the tab at a restaurant (uhh you're a guy you're supposed to pay you fukking fakkit). Or guys who brag about their girlfriend paying the rent while they sit in their underwear playing the latest Call of Duty.

Most niccas from the crack era are gone cause they got too old. Imagine being old as Sean Price still scaring white folk and still doing petty crime shyt?

the 90s babies of the black community are different and not want to be thugs anymore, thanks to Weezy and Obama. Guess that what Bloomberg wanted all along: NYC without the real street thugs.

Them times were tough. But most ended up being bums and underachievers. So there is a payoff of you, just doing ya own shyt.

The hood is the worst place to be Black. I was in the hood last night and the whole time I felt like a sitting duck. Not a hot look at all, breh.
