Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
Lots of black gentrifiers in NYC especially Harlem, Clinton Hill and Forte Greene.

DC and NYC have a lot of these because not every black person actually like living in some boring suburb. There are blacks who were born in the burbs who hate it now like the whites do and there are blacks who can never see themselves living in suburbia.

There was an article about this a few years back. Bout to start doing some digging.

I don't think that's going to happen:francis:

At least not in big numbers

Gentrified areas currently do a good job at hiring poor blacks anyway. Most of the employees in the new businesses in Harlem are all African American. It seems like tiny businesses like cafes and such are the ones not hiring poor blacks.

Yea blacks are doing what whites did back in the early to mid 1900s but what sucks is that when we do it values don’t rise smh.

yup

which is worrying because these suburbs folks are moving to don't even have infrastructure, jobs, or other features that could help preserve property values or create employment.
suburban poverty is going to keep skyrocketing

That’s why I’m not interested in investing in the burbs and I think it’s bad advice when black people do so. Also looking at the conditions of millennials now it doesn’t look like it will get any better soon. Trying to see what generation z will bring to the table.

Everyone in each township is in on the deal
From how they raise taxes to real estate agent/banks making approvals to who owns what.

We need to begin buying land, that we are living on. Not just the household to truly combat gentrification.

My biggest issue that goes very unnoticed with gentrification is how these individuals will move into the neighborhoods they spent their lifetime shaming to get access to cheap taxes, land, and property to then force those who built that community out while taxes are raised to make better conditions (public schooling for example) for that township/city.
