How much has your neighborhood change in the past 10 to 20 years?

I was in the old neighborhood on Jamaica Ave in Queens, New York. And I see there are no more Mom and Pops shops like there used to be. Especially when it came to Food. Straight commercial restaurants

Is it the same in your neighborhood or is it still the same since you were a child?

My hometown neighborhood in Brooklyn has stayed exactly the same

Everytime I visit, I'm like

White neighbors on both sides, people walking dogs, real dogs that you get from breeders, yet there's a pair of sneakers hanging from the power line down the street.

Gentrification at its finest.

South Suburbs of chi

Went from mostly working class/middle class black folk that commuted into the city for work

Now it’s inner city section 8 trash that bring crime and decrease property values. Let their children Wreck the schools, have no sense of community.

Gentrification

Never in my life did I think I would hear country music in the lobby of my building in Detroit. Should have just had a sign that said nikkaz not wanted

You can easily go a week without seeing a white person where I live

Our shyt is desolate. If I had to guess it may still be around 200 people here. Rural Louisiana about 30 minutes away from any metro areas. Once they are of age most people move to one of them. In the last 10 years they closed the Lumber Mill and prison which were the only local jobs and that drove away most people that were trying to stay.
