My NYC Black Folk......Gentrification
- Thread starter Lewis Black
- Start date
Nah broIm talking Newark and Jersey City
Everywhere will get more expensive but everywhere wont gentrify. I generalized too much in my last post. The areas with the highest chance is fordam and the areas closest to Manhattan. I assumed that those areas where mostly Hispanic.
I dont see the black dominated areas gentrifying.Improvements doesnt always mean gentrication. The people i see moving tend to be black or Hispanic. Gun hill and and Co op city are far from Manhattan.
Gunhill has a MetroNorth station - that's 20min to midtown at Grand Central station
I saw some very very trendy white folk walking in Webster Ave - it's being pushed as Norwood -
The Bronx is going to go it's just a matter of time - the Grand Concourse all the way up to 209 st has those fukking bike lanes - a sure sign that transplants are on the way

Sometimes its better to just cut your losses and leave a bad situation before it really gets bad and youre stuck..
Black people cant win in NY..It is too lucrative for these slum lord cacs.
Plus the damage had already been done when Black folks failed for whatever reason to actually own property, and now are at the mercy of a ticking time bomb.
I cant imagine Ny without Black people, it would lose its soul and culture and just become a dead soulless metropolis.
Black nyc residents need to think of their futures now.

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
Expand breh spread that knowledge for us.
This is coming to the North Bronx. Gun Hill Road where the old golf course is. The city also released their Jerome Avenue Rezoning plan today.
Buy if you can now, or you'll regret it
Jerome avenue been gone like 4 or 5 years ago - all the mechanics shops are now just muffler and glass replacemnet - you used to be able to goto Jerome and damn near buy a Triton booster rocket ...or at least the parts for one
soundview and hunts point are about to really get done - thats the next wave - and from the north it will be woodlawn
hard days coming for affordable housing
nikkas that don't think the Bronx will be gentrified
These a$$hole investors are digging their claws in the Bronx already...but we're the stupid asses who sell to them. Nikkas would rather sell to an investor for cash than give another black person a shot to make it their HOME.
You think a Jewish or Chinese person is doing that for your black ass?

Well rental prices are dropping and in theory should continue to drop as more rentals buildings come online in downtown Brooklyn as wealthier people move out of older housing stock. That may also take people who are considering buying and keep them put renting more high end places. Rents have been dipping a bit in "Brownstone Brooklyn" and concessions are rising.
The top of the market has been facing cuts since the winter of 14' and it's putting downward pressure on cheaper places although starter places haven't been effected much yet 200-500k. 600k-1M are also starting to come down form what I've seen.
Just my take on it

Broadway Stages to turn Arthur Kill Correctional Facility on Staten Island into $20M movie backlot
The state prison closed in 2011. Officials say the property will be turned into a 69-acre studio for making movies, TV shows and music videos and is expected to create up to 1,500 jobs.

The Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, which once housed more than 900 prisoners, will now play host to the stars when it's redeveloped into a 69-acre movie studio.
Hollywood is coming to Staten Island.
The old Arthur Kill prison will be turned into a $20 million movie backlot with five state-of-the-art sound stages to lure top filmmakers, officials announced Tuesday.
Broadway Stages plans to create a 69-acre mecca for making movies, TV shows and music videos. “We are looking forward to expanding on Staten Island and transforming Arthur Kill into a world class production facility,” said Broadway stages president Gina Argento.
Broadway Stages already operates studios in Brooklyn and Queens, boasting a total of 27 sound stages. The Staten Island project is expected to create up to 1,500 high-paying jobs over the next five years, officials said.
Broadway Stages has agreed to purchase the state-owned site on Staten Island’s West Shore for $7 million and invest $20 million in private funds to build the studio, officials said.
Broadway Stages plans to build five state-of-the-art soundstages at the former prison at Staten Island. “Reinvesting in properties like this is one of many ways to bolster the economic development of the Island and craft a new perception of our borough,” said Staten Island Borough President James Oddo.
The Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, which once housed more than 900 prisoners, was closed in December 2011.
Kenneth Adams, commissioner of the Empire State Development Corp., said he couldn’t think of better use for a defunct prison. “For a long time, New York’s economic development strategy included keeping empty prisons open as job factories at the expense of taxpayers, but those days are over,” Adams said. “In the last three years, the state has closed nine prisons, allowing us to cut taxes, reduce spending and create new economic opportunities in the local communities,” Adams said.
The plan still requires public approval and is subject to contract negotiations. Argento said that within six months of closing on the deal, the company will make a portion of the facility available for film use. The rest of the project is expected to be completed in two years.
“Reinvesting in properties like this is one of many ways to bolster the economic development of the Island and craft a new perception of our borough,” said Staten Island Borough President James Oddo.
State Sen. Andrew Lanza (R-Staten Island), who lobbied Gov. Cuomo to bring a film studio to Staten Island, said the Broadway Stages project will help the borough “compete with the rest of the city.”
The Arthur Kill prison is no stranger to Hollywood. Scenes from the 2009 movie “Tenderness” — starring Russell Crowe — were filmed there.

Nikkas are delusional. They fail to realize NYC is a city for the super rich. Like London, Paris and Tokyo. We lost. They had homes for sale in Harlem for like a $1 in the 80s. Why nikkas didn't buy houses I have no idea. Some blacks did and now they're millionaires. Everybody else getting pushed out or already got pushed out.
