More wealthy/rich black people need to buy up these hoods and turn them into paradises for black people. Anti-gentrification.

Salute. One of my bucket list items.
No joke. Something I've always wanted to do. I actually want to buy my old hood.
This is one of those things I feel like I have to be from the hood to understand. Buying a block in the hood sounds like a huge headache to me. Props to her though. Someone’s gotta clean up the communities
Buying and renting out houses is a HUGE headache you have to want to keep them up(word to my dad) he's a handy man so he like keep the houses up. Everyone ain't built for that.

This is true, but you can also have someone else manage the headaches, like a property manager/management company. In general, they'll take 10% of the monthly rent (50% of the first month rent for admin fees to find tenants). That'll keep the stress off you other than paying repairs not caused by the tenants.

That's such a fukking good idea for those who can afford it.
Chicago is nowhere near on the gentrification level of New York, but from New York we can learn that areas that are considered undesirable may become very expensive one day. And even if the property values don't appreciate that much , it's always good to own your home.

Other communities buy up the block to make sure they keep it looking how they want it. About time we start again. Last time we bought up the block, cacs burned it down.

This is stupid online talk that comes from people ime that usually can't move. You don't see many people at all staying in a certain neighborhoods if they have the money to leave. It's not to just goto some white area either like nikkas on here love to say. Alot move to the nicer black neighborhoods too and why shouldn't they?. We all need help at times but you mainly have to do for self and the help does just that not become the only way a person makes moves.Easy for you to say, you don't deal with the ups and downs. Ianyone trying to make a change financially, if you can't stand the vitriol from our own at least you tried.
Most people don't even tryJust move away like she said. We're taught to haul ass for fukk's sake.
I had no idea it was THAT bad in Chicago
