The Gentrification of Canal Street

I really don't get this gentrification bullshyt. Most of these folks that are leaving the suburbs for the city left the suburbs because they thought it was boring. They were looking for something different. So with that said, why are they turning the place they fled into the very same place they are fleeing from? Makes no sense.

I really don't get or like this gentrification bullshyt. Most of these folks that are leaving the suburbs for the city left the suburbs because they thought it was boring.

They aren't thinking. They are just doing things that sound good and trendy.

At Bronx Week right now.


Stuff like this is why the BX is so beloved by the people who live in it. There’s cops here but they might as well have the day off. Fun, food and music. Today Slick Rick was inducted into the BX Walk of Fame. Ruben Diaz is a wild cornball but it’s hard to say anyone else has done right by this borough more than him in recent memory.

And thinking about it now, a lot of the natives and locals have to share the blame for this obviously. Go to where these tourists are coming from, they let you know that you're in their area or you have to live by their rules. Why aren't folks reminding them where they're at? Ya let these folks get too comfortable when they're the tourists that arent on home turf. They come through, prop their shyt up and have the nerve to never interact with the locals trying to build new shyt for themselves. Quit letting these folks get bold when a majority of them will be moving back to where they came from. Remind them where they're at.

hope this drives cacs out.

You want black kids killing each other to drive people out? Your priorities are all fukked up. This will only lead to increase of profiling and blacks getting records for associating with gang members.

Jerome Avenue Auto Firms Say City’s Relocation Fund is too Small

The rough footprint of the recently passed Jerome Avenue rezoning.

Amid an uproar among Bronx automotive businesses, the city’s Department of Small Business Services has announced the availability of financial assistance for the auto-body shops that might be forced to relocate after the City Council passed a rezoning for the Jerome Avenue corridor last month.

The rezoning encourages residential and commercial development in a 92-block area including the Jerome Avenue corridor, most of which is currently zoned for auto-uses, and some neighborhood crossstreets. The rezoning would require a percentage of all new development to be income-targeted under the city’s mandatory inclusionary housing policy, and due to the current weakness of the market, the Department of City Planning predicts that new construction in the near term would be subsidized and likely 100-percent income-targeted.

During the rezoning debate, concerns were often voiced about the fate of the auto businesses, which supporters say provide decent, blue-collar wages. Property owners who have a chance to transform their property from accommodating low-lying auto shops to instead hosting rental buildings are likely to uproot the auto firms, and there is evidence that is already happening.

SBS Commissioner Gregg Bishop said in City Council testimony on Monday that his office has made available an estimated $1.5 million in relocation grants for the auto businesses. Also on Monday, , SBS tweeted about a mobile office on Jerome Avenue on Wednesday with resources on financing for businesses being affected by the measure.

But Pedro J. Estevez, the president of the United Auto Merchants Association, described the funding as insult to injury, “This is worse than Willets Point. Willets Point was dressed in a tuxedo. Jerome Avenue is in shorts and a T-shirt,” he said during a phone interview, referring to the city’s botched relocation plan for auto businesses displaced by a troubled development project launched near CitiField during the Bloomberg administration

Estevez said he will be testifying Wednesday morning at the City Planning Commission hearing about how small automotive businesses have already been affected by the rezoning.

According to the Department of City Planning website, rezoning measure went through a seven-month review process during which community members had the opportunity to make official comments on the proposal before it was approved by the City Council.

Where do car owners go to get their car fixed in New York if they keep uprooting so many car maintenance facilities.

City Council should do a study on college students renting in the city during the school year. If they find that they are dramatically increasing rents in areas they should work with schools to prevent students from living off campus. No need to have landlords trying to rent to students year in and year out when the housing stock could be used for families that live here permanently

Nah, I'd rather they spend time doing something more useful.

The majority of them don't understand economics, don't care, or are beholden to different special interests. I've spoken to quiet a few and taken public questions from them at the City Hall.

Even the younger progressive guys they put on a pedestal are frankly scumbags.

wouldn't this have a perverse incentive where colleges will just look to buy more buildings to house their students
