Flip Side of Gentrification

[MikeBrownsJob]

All I hear about is the poorer underclass blacks who are being pushed out of neighborhoods they've grown up in. At every turn people ignore the fact that the areas gentrification is happening in the neighborhoods are becoming more safe for the people to actually live. Crime is decreasing. So what happens when these section 8 problems hit suburbs? The same suburbs middle class blacks, the small minority, have secured a decent life and are working to restore their financial future to pre-crash levels, yet are inundated with the lower class blacks bringing a culture of violence, drugs and property levels down?

Let's look at areas where Section 8 was allowed to move in and what happened.

Somebody please put me out of my misery. For the last year or so I have been suffering.What i have noticed about the 3 neighbors that are on section 8 is,they are rude,ghetto, and crime is starting to increase in what used to be a good neighborhood. They make good neighbor hoods less safe. My first neighbor has like 5 kids, she curses out loud all the time, plays loud music,and fights her family in the middle of her yard for the world to see.

The neighbors beside her are just as loud and they are clearly selling drugs out of that house because someone in the neighborhood told me and they have alot of traffic coming to and from their house.The 3rd neighbors I like to call " The break in boys" The number of break ins have increased in my neighborhood.

Ive seen them, watching people's houses trying to see their pattern (i.e) what time they leave etc. They were looking at my Dads truck one day,i looked out the window and saw them. They left and came back later that night, pulled up in the drive way and backed out as if they were just turning around. I knew what they were up to. Oh and it doesnt stop there. I saw the same exact black car they were in in front of my neighbors house two nights in a row.

My neighbor she actually works and has a great job, so alot of people know shes always gone. They've been watching her house. They stole one girls car when she went in the house to get something,she came back and her car was gone. Oh and they broke into my friends house when he moved in a house a few houses down.

The government has to stop this. Do good hardworking families deserve to live next to these animals? Why not place them around other ghetto criminals like themselves or in a lower class neighborhoods with people like them.They do not deserve to live in good neighborhoods. They dont take care of their houses and to add insult to injury some of them have bigger houses than people that actually work. And last but not least they have to let the government know when an extra person moves in, well the lady neighbor on section 8 has had 2 extra people move in her dam house. Isnt that fraud?

Word of advice if someone on section 8 moves into your neighborhood, JUST MOVE. They will ruin it.

So I've heard plenty of people stating they aren't ridding poverty, but placing it elsewhere. But a new surrounding, a new school zone(should be better if you think about a people moving from a poor section to middle class section that hasn't been drained by them yet) a nicer and cleaner area should bring about change in ones behavior? Maybe more pride in a home then city living.
Why does it continue to fail? Not going to sit here and call these people inherently stupid or lazy or criminal but god

I don’t know what the solutions are to the problems of providing affordable housing
and helping people out of poverty. I do know that most people are rightfully wary of the crime and dysfunction that follows Section 8 into their neighborhoods, and they don’t deserve to suffer the results of our good intentions.

But it's important that we get real voices from real people. Just dismissing peoples concerns because they have more "money" is fukking ignorant. These are middle class people meaning a job away from poverty and clinging to it for dear life. And most of these families are black. Think about when Section 8 leaves for the suburbs the only people who probably have money to just up and move are white people.

Here's a shytty article from a white liberal basically telling white families who are being affected by section 8 families to suck it up and deal with the crime and drugs because of slavery. lol That's just fukking stupid and is exactly why white liberals disgust me. They don't give two shyts about those overwhelmingly minority section 8 families. They just use them as political nerf balls. I bet you that white chick lives in Manhattan

What struck me is the idea of the other families on the block deserving a safe community.

I don’t really think they do.

I benefited from it. My parents were able to escape Detroit and move to the suburbs with all the other white families. We bought a house in the country. My family invested in land, and I have benefited from that in
more ways that I can count.
Maybe happy white families in the suburbs don’t personally deserve to be hurt by crime. But maybe we’re
just getting what’s been coming to us for generations. As a culture, as a people, we have systematically kept black people from succeeding and profited from it. Now, we’re reaping the rewards by bringing some of
the hell we created for other people to where we live.
