Can Gentrification be Flipped?

[UpAndComing]

Breh bought property a decaying community to build it back for black people to live in

Literally Buying back the block

 

[King Poetic]

No... we can tho, but we all talk no action

We don’t work as a team as a people and it’s so much negativity and hate with each other to flip it...

With the virus around, I'm sure theres going to be a resurgence of gentrifiers from the city running back to the suburbs outside of the city or further out. They werent going to stay anyway.

Gentrification can’t be flipped. Once professional people or white collar companies move into your city gentrification will happen.


Also black professional people can complain about gentrification all they want but they also contribute to it.


I know a black lawyer who complains about gentrification but lives in an expensive apartment located on a low income street






I call her out on her BS everytime she talks about “gentrification”.

And as far as the video goes gentrification monsters actually love this stuff also. By him flipping homes in the community he is bringing the community back to life which gentrifiers love.


Remember Harlem and Bed Stuy didn’t start gentrifying until those hoods came back to life during the 1990s.

That shyt cracks me up. You got some of these gentrifiers trying to be slick like "I'm black so I can't be a gentrifier". they stay trying to hide where they're originally from too, trying to claim such and such neighborhood they're gentrifying knowing that they arent from there. Sad how some of these black folks really are ashamed to say that they're from the suburbs as if black people can only live in the city. That's some self hating shyt.

And I wont even get the whole "I'm against gentrification" shyt but acting all stuck up to the point where they isolate themselves or rather dont interact with the community that they move into either. They only talk with certain types of folks.

It can be flipped but we have to be in a unified front. But it’s a major David vs Goliath battle. Most hedge funds, land developing companies have portfolios in the hundreds of billion in owning land. It’s like the golden state warriors with KD facing a middle school basketball team. These companies have deep pockets and lots of political influence. For us to flip gentrification we would need black millionaires, multi millionaires and upper middle class to be on the same page. However that’s not likely to happen. Jay Morrison Tulsa fund was a scam to get himself rich and not serious about putting a dent in gentrification. He was trying to be the Black Greg Carson’s who is also another real estate scam artist.
Gentrification is all about being organized politically, having billions of dollars of assets, and having a long term strategic goals. However our people aren’t serious. Most are too focused on trivial bullshyt. You are competing with billionaires foreign and domestic who are investing in American real estate. Black folks at this point cannot reverse gentrification unless we get our financial house in order.

But one thing that will most definitely play a major role is the fact that the government is involved in it. They pretty much are the ones that green light the shyt especially with the laws. They got things like eminent domain which has been used in places like Atlanta that has given way to gentrification. They also fund and defund certain neighborhoods given the economics and demographics and etc. Same thing with real estate. They pretty much shape such and such neighborhoods to be how they are.

 

[Mook]

No u cannot. Anyone telling you that you can is lying. So many things have to change for it to happen.

Minimum wage has to go up
Real estate laws have to change
Investments into large real estate conglomerates have to be changed.


The only true solution is making bullet trains so u can go from suburb to downtown so fast it don't matter where you live.

Exactly. We can't say we hate CACs, but beg the same opressors to save us

She's a lawyer. Do you expect her to live in an inexpensive apartment? Maybe she just likes the area and wants to live in a nice place?

Yes and frankly it doesn't make economic sense. I mean you can make money way easier if you invested in Stocks or REIT's and getting Black people on the same sheet of music is like herding cats.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Yes it can.

People need to support the businesses so the dollar can be recirculated back into the hood.

But they don't, and it's not.

So they making it safe for yuppys to come to the hood with a mark up on real estate we can't afford.

Right! But don’t complain about something you’re contributing to.


Gentrification displaces poor people for people who have a better economic situation typically white collar folks.

So if you’re black and have a white collar job just know that once you move someplace the rent is going to go up just because of your existence and position.
