It was when they started dividing the major streets into bus and bike lanes.
Then more cops were patrolling everywhere than they used to
The next thing was free wifi booths popping up,
Then "affordable housing" constructions
Then the luxury constructions

the first step is brand new condos that dont even fit in the natural environnment of the hood.
then its the hipster-themed coffee shops or groceries.
more cops than usual.
seeing hipster/middle class caccity cacs who would be shook to come here 10 years being more or less at ease in the hood now
I miss when each hood in the city had its own swag, history, traditions, etc. Now its the same process happening everywhere smh

Saw a white kid rolling down the street on a skateboard
Went to a networking event, and multiple white people said they love my town
Left for work one morning, and there was a jet ski parked in the driveway of a house at the end of the block
Juice bar on the corner across from my old Baptist church
My neighbor is white

When hipster Cacs starting getting off at my stop. It starts off slowly. They go stop by stop as the years go on getting deeper and deeper into the hood.
Now we have luxury units that no one can really afford except the transplants.
Also more cops. Police didn't gaf before now they have a unit stationed right outside the subway every night

When city council started approving random renovation and construction permits for rundown areas (not going to lie I never lived in the hood).
It usually happens a year before construction starts. If you go to those meeting or research those public announcements online you'll know.
Local politics are the most important politics, u gotta stay informed. Plus if you have the scratch you can flip that knowledge into first round investment by buying property in the area for cheap.
