We should make a general gentrification thread since most large inner cities are going through at it at this point. Those that aren’t fukked up at least.

Yeah, but in other states you can get 2 bedroom apartments for $1100. Where they do that at in NYC?

nikkas like waiting for shyt to happen to them instead of being proactive. My grandmother and grandfather worked to buy a house over 30 years ago. Now the mortgage is about paid off and she's retired and has a nice nest egg even without selling the house in Brooklyn.
My mom didn't follow in those steps. She's almost 50 and still doesn't even have a driver license much less own a house. She even mentions regretting not buying in Harlem when the city was basically giving away brownstones in the 90s.
nikkas don't want to plan beyond next week much less 30 years from now. Like what direction the economy is heading in, what jobs will be relevant in 5-10 years, which will be irrelevant?
Racist practices put black folks 3 feet down and our own poor planning has puts us down another 3 feet where we are subject to the changes of outside factors.
Chinatown is largely still China Town. Borough Park, Williamsburg and the Jewish sections of Crown heights are still just that. They own their shyt and are less subject to gentrification. Black folks have been renting for too long.
On a flip, the reality is the folks that are still here can't compete for the jobs that come to the city. There are jobs and there is money to be made hence the huge population increase in NYC over the last decade. NY is not a manufacturing blue collar state anymore and hasnt been for awhile. Finance, tech and fields like that are where the money is. Locals will move down south because there is more low skilled work with a low cost of living.
NYC is just ahead of the curve. nikkas in cities like Dallas, Atlanta, etc will be next. Y'all need to focus on acquiring skills that will translate 5-10-20 years from now so you don't end up like those coal miners in WV voting for Trump thinking he's going to bring back coal mines

Once all the major cities bleed all the minorites out, shyt will get antiseptic and boring as fukk.
Blacks will have lit parties and start a new music/dance craze in whatever spots we move too. Rich cacs will drive way out from the city to come thru and pick up some vibes they can't get surrounded by cac/asian IT dorks and spoiled brats.
it will be jazz era all over again, with just as much opoid abuse
