I hate to say it...but NYC is finished.

In the burbs

I have no idea how New York intends to sustain itself when average rent prices are $3,000.

Everybody can't be rich. Where are the garbage truck drivers and security guards living?

It just might be.

If other cities see what's going on here and are trying to replicate it, it's going to be a massive problem. I know people laud the successes of gentrification but I've seen the ugly side of it and know it does more harm than good.

Theres always Chitown and Philly
and Houston or Atl if you like the south.

Sounds terrible. Seems like everything is reversing. Whites ran to the suburbs to get away from blacks in the inner city. Now they're running back to the inner city to get away from us here in the suburbs.

After they drove them to suburbs via gentrification. Like all the crime in nyc just got bounced to jersey. The suburbs turning into the hood.

Lol. More like Benny Blanco from Jersey City...Philly seems nice too.

Philly is more gully than NY Theses days. Just keep that in mind.

Born and raised all my life here...but the older I get I really feel like it's just time to go.

Saturday I was visiting friends in Ridgewood, queens. I know Brooklyn is got got but damn! Where the fukk did all of these goofy white people come from? They all look the same too! Me and my boy were just grabbing some Dominican food from this one spot on myrtle and they were legit pissing me off!

The self entitlement, the disrespect towards the original residents, the absolute refusal to mingle with the locals. I fukking HATE these people now. Oh they racist too...thanks to all the jew landlords for inviting these people to kill this city. Thanks to Bloomberg for allowing this place to be turned into a luxury playpen for rich kids with no lives.

Now I see that there are still some kids that are trying to "make it" here...but unless you have a good job that brings in a lot of money or some lucrative side hustles just forget about it. I saw some kids that didn't even look like they were poor outside of a KFC asking people for money. Do you really want to come to new York and live with 15 people in an apartment and beg for change just cause? That's no life to live.

All and all...stick a fork in this bytch it's done. Storefronts closing everyday, for lease signs on the front, seemingly more homeless people than ever. Tons of luxury condos and steel and glass apartments popping up. I don't see this ever reversing itself.

So much emotion from a NYC-born and raised breh. I'm sorry homie.

It's the same in Cali. It's sucks having so much of an emotional attachment to somewhere that's doing such a 180 so quickly. You want to hold out because there's so much time invested and memories involved. You can't imagine running away from it because it's the place that raised you and made you the person that you are today

It's the same in Cali

i know

 

[Broke Wave]

Toronto too

Philly is no joke. Still relatively affordable but I see the trends going on there. It's getting gentrified...not the rate like here...but still. These kids who dont/can't make it in NY go there to be close to it.

 

[Arithmetic]

From my understanding, gentrification is engineered by property owners and elected officials, but by what means? Rent hikes?

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

And I'm not saying that gentrification isn't a thing in NYC but there are large chunks of Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx where you can walk around and see little to no white people

I would say that neighborhoods far from Manhattan and without subway service won't be affected (Flatlands, Mill Basin, Laurelton, Rosedale, etc.).

When I have kids, I'd like to show them the places I frequented as a kid here...but by that time they'll probably all be gone.
