Amazon to move it’s second headquarters to Queens.[update 2/14 : Amazon cancels its plans.

[UberEatsDriver]

Queensbridge going to turn into luxury high rises

No it isn’t.

Truth which is why lots of East Flatbush seems to look as black as ever. Lots of renters there but clearly way more owners than Flatbush to the west.

Exactly. Places where Black people are at that own their homes. Mill Basin, Canarsie, East Flatbush, Some parts of Brownsville and East New York, Flatlands, some parts of Crown Heights, etc


West Brooklyn has always been CAC central, so no surprise over there lol

 

[UberEatsDriver]

That was them white folks dream, most of us brehs wanted no parts of this shyt. Amazon= more Cacs, we good on that round here. Y’all Dallas and NY brehs used to be being round Whitey, so it’s not a big deal to y’all, but we trying to keep this shyt Black as fukk in the A.

The city of Atlanta has a higher percentage of white people than NYC does.

NYC is also way more diverse.

So who exactly is more used to whitey here?

I’m only used to Whitey because I grew up in a white/Jewish hood.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Jackson Heights is not overwhelming white at all
I don't see any white people on Junction, 82nd st, 74th st, Roosevelt, 37th Ave, Northern, etc

Agreed here. Except Astoria, northern Queens is probably the most diverse place in America and as far as Jackson Heights go all I see there are All types of Hispanics and people from Pakistan and India.

 

[GoPro]

You originally from nyc? If not where you from?

Also good thing that you rented in sunny side before the L train stuff.

From Brooklyn. Moved to queens cause it's closer to work. I take the 7 tho, or q60/32 when I'm not in a rush

Atlanta also has double the % of Black people NYC has, you can use a particular stat to say anything, doesn’t mean much. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would call Atlanta a white city. Thats what we bring to the table, same way that NYC brings its size and diversity to the table. And some of us like being around nothing but Black people, I grew up not seeing a single white person for weeks on end, not just my hood, the whole side I was from was all Black. When I was a git, you couldn’t have told me the whole US wasn’t 80% Black. That’s the way I like it patna, might be hard for you to grasp but everybody doesn’t like seeing different faces the next block over. NY is cool to visit, but I’m more of a Dekalb County, PG County, Southside Chi type of dude. I need to be in an area where it’s nothing but Black folks for miles and miles around. Everybody isn’t the same breh. The thing is I can think outside the box and understand why you think the way you do, but as worldly as you claim to be on here you can’t seem to do the same.

Atlanta only has less than 500,000 people total. fukk you talking about double the population.

NYC has over 2 million black people. And i'm talking JUST the city alone, no surrounding suburbs included like yall Atlanta nikkas love to claim to boost your numbers.

Read what I said, double the % patna. Everybody know NYC is gigantic and everybody knows ATL is small.

And I’m from the westside, which is basically downtown. Miss me with that suburb shyt patna.

 

[Human Torch]

Lol my girl from PG and always says how far Waldorf is

shyt not even THAT far. We just been programmed to believe it is lol

Gentrification like you’ve never seen it before

Google business clout chasing. Plans to add 12,000 jobs in NYC to the 12,000 already there. Google plans large New York City real estate expansion that could recruit more than 12,000 employees | Daily Mail Online

Don't forget Apple is looking for a new campus for 20,000 jobs Apple plans to add 20,000 jobs, new campus in the US

All these big tech companies expanding and adding jobs is great, but all the silencing and censoring on their platforms of information they disagree doesn't bode well for the common folk.

Amazon Chooses New York City and Northern Virginia for Additional Headquarters

Looks like it’s official. HQ2 will officially be in NYC and VA.

Congrats!

 

[Rawtid]

I hate Amazon and the cheap ass job they pile into the city. One of their cheap ass locations was destroyed by a small tornado here. Whole side ripped off, meanwhile buildings 20 times it’s age still standing. They slap these buildings up, pay shyt wages with shyt working environments, and duck taxes.

 

[Skooby]

It's official.



They trying to rename Crystal City.



Nashville also got 5,000 jobs.

Astoria is very diverse too.
