breh be cautious of upstate. shyt is not sweet. My mind was blown when I was still a cowboy and started hitting towns like beacon/newburgh/albany shyt like that. It was a war zone. I had no idea. Gang infested. There are way less opportunities and less culture. Upstate NY is literally hell on earth. I know thats wild shyt 2 say and I can't even say no disrespect to the upstate brehs who may be on here.... those crakkkers hunting brehs 2... god bless y'all upstate brehs.

I used to think shyt was sweet up there too but when you start driving past Westchester and Yonkers and really get into the heart of upstate NY....breh it gets spooky frfr

I used to joke on RBK back in the day about Newburgh.

There's places upstate that time has literally forgotten...and shyt is not sweet

You was born in the 90s? Man get out of here

I absolutely read the entire article what I posted was 1 issue of the lack of black homeownership I’ll let you cook tho

My family has a house, I’m inheriting that house. If I leave or stay it’s in our name and we would just sublet it. Does that mean because I have a house I want to be surrounded with cac and have people complain about the music being loud ? What’s the point of being black in nyc if the culture that produced hip hop and all this black talent isn’t here. The next Spike Lee can’t create a Do the Right Thing or a Crooklyn because his neighborhood looks different

 

[HarlemHottie]

We're only here bc we inherited a house right before covid. Gentrification is fully underway, they built a high rise on the block, I'd give it five years max. I told him to make his peace with it and pick a number that will make him happy.

The plan was always to go north and our immediate family is with it.

Renters getting squeezed out everywhere.

Gotta make buying a home a priority. I know too many blacks folks in their 50s and 60s still renting. Of course they have to move to the south.

But be careful because the rent is rising in the south too so you still are going to have to buy a home.

buyers are getting squeezed also , im in the south a lot property investers from other states are buying shotgun houses and renovating them and trying to sell them for 200K in highly sketchy neighborhoods
shyt is crazy

property investers have also bought most of the nice home in better neighborhoods and trying to rent them out at $2000+ a month

I'm trying to cop a house now and this is over priced like fukk

 

[Arizax2]

Come to the Poconos. Large affordable houses, large land and reasonable taxes. I left NJ and I'm good good. I drive to NJ and NY when I want with no issues.

 

[King Sun]

Same thing that happened in Cali in the late 90s and even until this day. T

Thats why in that one thread it was crazy that people are so tone deaf when it comes to whats going on with housing. its not that simple anymore just to move to the cheaper towns/south anymore.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

There is truth to this...

My family is one of the many people who bought those homes, and they looked at my folks, my uncles, and aunts like we were crazy. For the most part, we did the repairs ourselves and watched as the property values skyrocketed through no fault of our own. Now the Black people and the gentrifiers who don't know any better think we're "bougie blacks" or the "rich"

You know what it's like to be walking in to your house and some fresh of the college campus CAC walks up and asks if the owners are renting?

I'M THE OWNERS....AND NO, fukk OFF COLONIZER

You know how easy it was to get a brownstone in 1992 if two people with double income saved up for ONE YEAR for a down payment? VERY

The City was hiring...MTA was hiring...and yeah like Biggie said...UPS was hiring.

Hell there's still parts of BK where you can do that.

But there's the moving parts that Coli brehs who don't know better (and we can see from that Steph Curry thread) that this city is VERY hostile towards home ownership and property ownerships, especially for the the little guy.

They have sold this city out to developers and rich CACs who like to pretend they're not rich but I know what the rent is in my neighborhood now and if you're not making six figures or living with a roommate, YOU ARE STRUGGLING.

Not to mention, they HAVE priced out all the Black people but you have City Council Members (Crystal Hudson, Lincoln Restler) who like to play this game where they pretend they want affordable housing but really at the end of the day, the only thing getting build is luxury housing for well off Finance and Tech CACs who want to live near the "good schools" in NYC but might not have the connects to get into Dalton or the other elite private schools.

There's a lot of moving parts here...but it's not 100% because cats did'nt buy a home.

The very Dems that Black people vote for CLAIM they are for the uplifting of Black people but they're really for making it easy for developers to build mega developments and making once predominantly Black neighborhoods, more comfortable for the white people moving in. They even stack Community Boards to make it so that the same Black people they claim to speak for, have less of a voice in their neighborhoods.

I have literally seen this myself and am experiencing it as we speak.

Remember this in June, when many of the "progressives" in this city are voting for a bill that would allow citizens (which will be mostly white people) to issue tickets to people for "parking in the bike lane".

That means if you, a person who has lived in Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Crown Heights, Flatbush, East Flatbush, if you're a person who owns property and let's say you pull up to get groceries out your car, or anything you shopped for, if you're parked in front of your house, where they've for some reason decided there should now be a bike lane, the very CACS gentrifying your neighborhood and displacing the Black people who live there, will be able to walk up and issue you a ticket.

And if you think it's going to be Black people doing this, you are a fool.

On that last part about ticket issuing they city ain’t letting random cacs issue tickets you would have to be deputized by the city.. All city law enforcement, sanitation police, nypd traffic can issue tickets.. I know this because I work for the city

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Bro, have you see what these developers have been doing buying up houses near Brooklyn College to the east of Flatbush Ave? Houses are getting knocked down left and right for these buildings.

It's gross

This is why I keep telling Black men, be very very careful where you stand on this NIMBY/YIMBY shyt that has become all the rage over the past few years, especially with regards to home ownership and property ownership and especially since COVID.

If you are for the uplifting of Black people and Black people obtaining and sustaining wealth, be very very careful where you place yourself in that conversation.

The City Councilmembers that you THINK are your friends are NOT. They are in the back pockets of mega development realty companies whose sole purpose is to extract the most profit from any given piece of land they can lay their eyes on and they don't care how you feel about it.

They will legit stack Community Boards with people friendly to whatever it is they want and then say it was on behalf of said community.

The Borough Presidents and Mayor are complicit in this shyt too.

I do too (work for the city) and what I've seen in that bill is that they want regular everyday citizens to be able to do this and not just deputized city workers or officers.

I hope you're right breh... otherwise these cats are out of their minds...

bytch shut up.. you got to be some morbidly obese ugly ass woman to have this much time on your hands

Not at all, Fukkin weirdo . You need to comeback better than that, irrelevant insult commentary of your bytch ass projecting stereotypes that describe your mother. Do the research, I rarely post on this side bc some of you new or corny rebooted accounts emulate low vibrational cactalk that fuk up this part of the forum.

Keep talking and I’ll show what type of timing I’m on . Sick of seeing your goofy fukkin posts; I’m out of patience. Didnt forget that you’re the Dumb fuk who created a thread about wanting to be white- that’s the city you represent .

This is the rent in my old hood.

brooklyn apartments / housing for rent - craigslist

brooklyn apartments / housing for rent - craigslist

newyork.craigslist.org

$2200 - and you're WAY out from Manhattan.

My family that wasn't in STEM, Medicine/Nursing, Finance - moved away.

Pops still holding it down in BK, but that's cause he owned his property.

Too close to the hospitals and downstate. They want over there

Theyve been building a lot on new york ave. This is like the scene from Up; another apartment is going in that empty lot too.

Theyre tearing down all these single/multi family homes and putting apartments there. People better get on it before it's too late

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

I don't mind New Yorkers moving to the South if they ain't clowns who pop shyt when they in another city like they can't get their fukking wigs split.
