My NYC Black Folk......Gentrification

[AB Ziggy]

As a bx nikka. Some places always be the same
Poor people have to live somewhere

I dunno breh. Have you seen the construction on Bruckner Exwy.

And I'm seeing more white people get off at Cypress Avenue and beyond on the 6 line this past year

I hear you but idk. In Brooklyn where I am things have tripled in cost. In Brownsville and even East New York people are even being uprooted. Someone will always have more money even if it's not much. A lot of people are being displaced.

I admit that everywhere is getting more expensive and it is a major problem. Ny needs poor people and will have to figure something out.

Contruction along a highway dont mean much. I see multiple new buildings going up and my mind still hasnt changed.

I take the 5 from gun hill and barely any white people ever get on in the bronx. There are more white people but nothing drastic.

That's a huge fukking problem... No one has the money to be paying all these exorbant rents with the luxury apartments there's only so many rich people in this world!!!

It's crazy. I read an article that there is whole condos and luxury apartments empty with 3 or tenants in them in the city and BK. We have been going through a construction boom for the last 15-16 years. There is literally an oversupply of these apartments but the foreign and domestic investors are pouring bread into the market like a rapper in Houston stripclub. They will soon want a return for their investment and when they don't get their bread back that is when the day of reckoning will came and shyt will get ugly when that bubble pops.

You see this is why we lose. Distractions. Who gives a shyt about their yelp reviews? The store owners can either chose to change or continue doing what they want, now if a competitor comes in they should change or face the loss.
What people should focus on is that over 60% of public housing will be privatized in the next 2 years. Mostly in the supposed "gully" areas of the Bronx and Brooklyn and upper manhattan.
Do people realize that MLK high school on the upper west has been closed? That Power Memorial was closed and yet the school of performing arts is still open? Think about that for a second. Whole high schools with a majority student population of blacks and minority's gone to push gentrification. That's better to think about than fukking yelp reviews.

It's crazy bro our people aren't focused and focus on the wrong things. We are literally seeing a push of forced displacement of poor minorities by these cacs. That is technically ethnic cleansing but we work about dumb shyt like which hood is harder or reminisce about the 70s,80s and 90s.

Exactly. Thats why another economic crash is around the corner. These real estate developers are greedy and want people to pay a million dollars to be cramped up. They think that people want to pay with their souls to live in NYC. These exorbitant prices will not last long.

South BX is going to go through massive gentrification in the next few years. At this point, they automate the low paying jobs, and push the broke people into the middle of nowhere, like Newburgh, NY with the rednecks.

Exactly which is why the next couple of years, it's gonna be really interesting to see what's going to happen to these recolonialized... I mean gentrified spots with all these yuppies and hipsters from west pennslytucky and etc in NYC when it reaches that glass ceiling and it all comes crashing down. And these folks very same folks that are in those places will be moving to the areas away from the city into places like Newark and mount Vernon and Bushwick and bedsty are going to end up going down again. The gentification is a scam. The thing that amazes me is that you have folks following and accepting that shyt. None of them are protesting against these landlords or these rent people that are robbing them. NYC is great but its not worth a 2,000 dollars worth of rent. Hell no. And damn near most of these folks moving into there aren't doing anything of value to be in NYC. Just an overextended vacation and they will be moving out right back to where they came with nothing. I don't get it.

Going back to the early 70s, with massive vacant buildings and crime.

Not this time, far too many people from immigrants to suburbanites to transplants tryna move in now than ever before

That bubble will burst. People want to move in the sunbelt states due to the harsh winters. Only rich immigrants want to move into N.Y. for properties, and everything getting priced out

Yeah I think even when the bubble burst, NYC will still be in good conditions because it is a destination city. NYC ain't a fukking C grade city in the middle of California.
