Brooklyn’s white population surges as black residents exit

[Anno Domini]

My boy copped his house years ago before sh!t started getting real crazy (at least over 5 years ago). He lives in the Crown Heights area. He was born in Barbados. If y'all are not comfortable with what the thread title says, then y'all need to band together and put your money where your mouth is (aka, fight for your sh!t).

Tell your bro to hold on to that property for dear life. Owning property in NY is like owning a money printer at this point no joke. And as BK continues to gentrify and more rich cacs flood it, he'll be a multi millionaire based on off that property alone.

I be trying to figure out where in Atlanta (or the metro area) people be living at paying those prices. My mom had a 2500sqft house on a 1/10 acre in Rex and her mortgage was $800.

yeah i have just about what your mom has in prime decatur. but that was a deal to be had during the time when i bought it (2014). i'm talking about the newer apartments that are popping up all over and in todays market, you not paying less than $1000 to rent a nice 1bd inside the perimeter

Facts… This my city I ain’t going no where… Got two homes here already I’m good

My financial advisor is pushing me to buy a condo instead of renting. If I own, I want a home that my parents could retire in.

Good...more Black folks need to dip and get on that Charles Blow tip

Dr. Claud Anderson told black folks to stop wasting time

Black wealth in this country is well on track to hit zero.

Still... I don't see the problem. When a mess needs to be cleaned up, you clean it up. Tired of black people living in turmoil and thinking it's okay. Prostitutes and drug dealing happening in your backyard and nikkas just like "this is fine " like wtf, no it's not

We really supposed to be mad cuz white people deciding it's time to clean up these communities and make the streets safer for everyone? What type of backwards shyt is that?

I don't care what color these people are. If they coming in and cleaning up the crime and fixing the community up I don't see the problem.

The problem with gentrification is that those problems only get cleaned up when white people (and money) come in. All of a sudden the city wants to clean up a certain area out of the blue, I wonder why? You think hard working black people want prostitutes around and didn't complain?

I went to NY for the first time like 3 years ago and when I crossed the Brooklyn bridge the first thing I saw was a cac with pink hair and shor shorts, after that a dude asked me if I was a jew, I told him no and he didn't say anything and left.

So where are black people moving to?

the Bronx or even Staten Island if they stay at all

Overall, New York City lost 4.5% of its Black population in its last decade, with declines also in Manhattan and Queens and roughly stable numbers in The Bronx. Alone among boroughs, Staten Island saw its Black population grow, by 5.7%.

Breh let’s be real for a second

the issue has been going on for decades. Black people have drove and walked past it all the time. Let’s be real you don’t think black people also weren’t complaining a lot? Why are you assuming that black folks said they were content in living in those conditions.

Chances are a lot of them have been complaining for years especially alot of the elders. Why is it all of a sudden though that when white people complain the post can run like 5 articles and then all of a sudden task forces come in and actually do their job. Like wtf?

black people who live in the neighborhood were prob telling cops for years and ignored because they aren’t like the rich white people with connections. It’s not fair at all. This happens in hoods across the country. Black people complain about a problem with cleaning up the neighborhood to the cops and they respond nonchalantly, but then when the community starts to get gentrified all of a sudden police can do their job

The problem with gentrification is that those problems only get cleaned up when white people (and money) come in. All of a sudden the city wants to clean up a certain area out of the blue, I wonder why? You think hard working black people want prostitutes around and didn't complain?

Y'all ain't saying nothing groundbreaking. Racism exists, more news at 10

I forgot I was trying to stay away from race topics. Y'all can do the victim circle jerk for the next 5 pages if you want. Stop quoting me
