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.


Even if black people put money in the hood hippies would still come in.


Black business has nothing to do with a tech company or companies moving into your city and creating a demand for housing which leads to gentrification.

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.


High speed rail would slow down the cost of housing all over this country. But the minute you speak about trains to Americans they act too fancy for it or do not want their taxes to foot the bill.

Black people can and do gentrify. If you're not from the city/neighborhood, have more money and move in as a renter/owner, you are gentrifying the block. A Black woman just bought a 1.7M brownstone on my block. She just helped raise the property value for her neighbors and those with similar homes in good condition.

I live in the Bay.

Hippie central.

You are correct, partially.


All the reasons for rent control and low income housing within that communities that are effected by said demand.

That's the key issue with still being able to afford to live in the 'hood'.

If the cottage industry can be maintained by the locals who where raised in or part of the community, there wouldn't have to be a worry about being 'gentrified', because monies would be used to stimulate the hood compared to artisan hipsters willing to pay top dollar for rent and using their profits hat doesn't help the community.

All impartial due to greed and opportunity.

This is another thing that i dont get or understand especially in places like NYC. You have all these folks in the past decade that did occupy wall street, all these protests and the whole nine about what's going on in the world, land, air and sea and not ONCE have I seen anything or any protests about the price of rent/housing being too damn high or is unaffordable. Apparently, that was not an issue because folks were complicit with it even if that shyt didnt make sense. Even when there were and still are whole families out on the street, homeless because they couldnt afford it or theyve been priced out. I saw and see nobody caping for those families and individuals . Same gentrifiers busy gentrifying nyc, Los Angeles, san Fran, Austin, chicago, Oakland and etc thinking that saying fukk gentrification and putting it on their social media pages is them helping somebody. :lolbron:



Now when you have these same people about to end up on the street or their favorite nightclub, bar, overpriced restaurant or whatever about to close for good because of this shyt, they wanna do rent strikes, tell the government that the price gouging on rent should stop and all this shyt they should have been doing years ago. Folks worrying about the world when they should have been worried about their own block and also checking their own selves make sure they aren't a part of the problem. A lot of folks stay supporting the same problems they claim they are against and that needs to stop.

Most people against gentrification are hypocrites and it’s by accident I assume.


You think those New Yorkers care that they are contributing to the growing cost of living in Charlotte or Atlanta? Nope!


In reality the best way to fight gentrification is to be successful through hard work/careers or be a entrepreneur and open up black businesses.


House flipping doesn’t do as much as people think.


Also black people need to learn to get into owning homes in the cities they love so much. Always repping hoods that they rent

How did he flip anything if he went into a decaying neighborhood?

Gentrification is when a neighborhood is on the upswing from decay.

Sounds like he went in before the process of gentrification actually happened.

But that's a totally different thing from reversing the process of gentrification after it starts to happen.

I'm not sure I've seen any examples of any neighborhoods that were able to stop the process of gentrification.

If anyone knows any, please drop the names.

Which neighborhoods? Bed Stuy wasnt decaying when whites came in. H
Bed Stuy was going through urban renewal between 1985 to 9/11 and the the cacs started coming after 04ish.


Were cacs already coming into bed stuy after 95?


Williamsburg was a bad neighborhood, and some parts of Bushwick. Also Red Hook

I don't think you get what I'm saying.

The title of the video is can gentrification be flipped (reversed).

Using your Brooklyn example, I would have expected the guy to have a method of stopping white people from completely gentrifying Brooklyn, when the process had already started, and more than that, getting them out the neighborhood.

If you're in a decaying neighborhood, most likely gentrification hasn't started yet so you can't flip or reverse anything.

The title of the video should have been "How to make neighborhoods fullproof from gentrification".
