Brooklyn and Harlem are Black Theme Shows...its performative liberalism from whites to say they live amongst blacks ...its the new version of "my black friend"...

Atlantic Yards' broken promises loom over another major Brooklyn development plan two decades later
A task force including elected officials and community leaders will vote later this month on a proposal to redevelop the Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Red Hook and the Columbia Street Waterfront by bypassing typical land use review.

this Atlantic Ave redevelopment is only going to make it worse I'm afraid
I'm right there and I can see the writing on the wall
what is she there carrying water for? does she not get it or see it?
They opened up some lottery apartments....right next to a BRC building. And yes, for that you need to make A MINIMUM of $81K...to live next to space cadets
at this point, its just offensive especially the last video. Cannot stand these living in a bubble ass clowns bringing their bullshyt illusions from their boring ass suburb, boring ass mentality and turning cultural melting pots such as the city into the boring areas they come from thinking theyre all that and a bag of chips. They are bored out of their mind in the suburbs and eventually will be bored out of their mind in the city that they will turn into the boring suburbs they came from. And because theyre living in their bubble, they cant figure out its THEM thats boring and need to be real with themselves instead of this bubble people bullshyt.
they have made NYC and NY into a theme park for middle american ( read white ) young people to live out their city fantasies and then if they dont ( or more than likely cant ) make it they move back to Indianallinoihiowanee where they came from
lookit that video and see how many brown faces you see....
Agreed.
Whats also cringeworthy is how a lot of these gentrifiers and transplants is how they literally are on some carbon copy archetype shyt, into the same damn thing as each other. Literally no sense of diversity in style, no diversity in thought, and the irony is half of them are calling themselves "creatives". Even the stores, shops and whatever basically caters to these one track minded bubble people. The same type of bars, the same type clubs which are raves, the same type coffee shop,the same type of yoga studio, crossfit, the thrift shop. If you go to any of the suburbs outside of nyc whether its in northern new jersey, upstate ny or southeast connecticut, youll see the same shyt...same style of coffee shops, same bars, same shyt. Literally the same shyt everywhere they are at. Nothing innovative creatively artwise or anything for that matter has came out of these spaces either. And the biggest irony is that these people practice elitism, tribalism, and all sorts of self segregation shyt too then think that screaming some social justice trend is supposed to hide who they are and what theyre doing.. half of them acting stuck up too.
guess a lot of these people have to realize the world doesnt revolve around them.
