This is complete bullshyt. Harlem is still a very much Black place, though there is definitely a hipster/yuppie presence there.
This shyt is depressing. I knew Harlem was changing since the time my sis lived there...
Buying homes isn't that simple. You have to be able to save $10k to $50k before seeking a mortgage.If white people want to spend $2500+ to live in a 1 bedroom shack in the hood let em have it
Hopefully the brothers and sisters who are getting gentrified learn their lesson and acquire their new property in their new locales rather than simply renting.
I see nothing wrong with this. Any Black people owning property there will benefit whether directly by selling or renting, or indirectly by increased market values. The only people who are hurting are those who weren't owning property in the first place. This collectively brings up everyone's market value.
Isn't the main problem that blacks were dumped into these 'ghettos' in the first placed and ostracized from the rest of the mainstream community? Or is it now that we just wanted exclusivity and can't stand it when other people come into where we originally thought of as our own, regardless of how derelict and crime-ridden we had kept it.
Whites and other ethnicities with money moving into these areas and improving the property value and overall area only helps fellow blacks who are also community minded and want to improve their own standing. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

The Latino and Asian populations are still growing and the black population hasn't really declined that much
You can say the same for virtually every major city in America , it's just not exclusive to NYC , but for some reason news platforms is taking it way out of proportion when dwelling on the topic ... the only borough i'll say is in critical when it comes to gentrification is Brooklyn but Harlem is still good bread

No, letting someone have your cultural history is not good at all.
There's a significant difference between Harlem and everywhere else. Harlem literally has too strong amount of black history around it.
1) Biggest black library in the country ( only place where you can hear Marcus Garvey speeches)
2)Most famous Black theater ( Apollo theatre)
3) Biggest black owned bank is still Harlem ( Carver bank)
4) And its home to the biggest African American day Parade in the country
* letting white people " Have it" is not good at all.
I think they do it is because Harlem is the epitome of black culture and history. So it makes it an interesting read.

Get your $$ up or get to stepping. Harlem or any other historically black community is no exception.

I feel like they're will always be some but not from the Tri-State area, probably transplants. People used to just move to Hudson Valley, North Jersey or Long Island but now everyone is moving to the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida.
