I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
No funny shyt if they did a show based on Harvey it would be on the Wire shyt. It would be an instant classic.
These big suburban hoods being created by gentrification will be worse than the inner city ones

A person whose struggling can fix themselves in the middle of North Dakota if they truly understand what values they have and what location gives them the best buck for their skill.
Example: an aerospace black engineer is not getting better opportunities in Atlanta compared to Texas.
Also America belongs to African Americans. I find it weird that some AAs have this mindset that only two places in America is the only locations they can build “wealth”.
I’m pretty sure North Dakota has much better oil related jobs than Atlanta.
I’m pretty sure Texas has better engineering opportunities.
My point was blacks should head to cities where their skills will give them the best bang for their skills.
Once the bag is secured then wealth comes next.
You really want 13 million black people crowding up Atlanta
I’ve been preaching that in here for the past couple of years, Patty ... yet nearly everybody on here still trying to get to a major metro and shame others who say they’re moving and are gainfully employed in smaller cities/towns
I’m telling you this site is like 50 percent agents and/or bots or teenagers ...
Preach
And we’ve talked about black burbs on here a lot ... it’s really a matter I’d like to see a lot more research on... because there are gradations of black burbs ... let’s be clear ...
But the ones we're talked about have telltale characteristics: Extremely small lot sizes, somewhat high density (houses nearly piled on top of each other), very little variation in architectural styling and drab— built with cheap materials, multiple people living in one house, several cars per house and insufficient parking, narrow streets, displaced residents from the city, working class, many homes show a lot of wear and weathering and dirty siding, younger home occupants and renters (as the first wave of older homeOWNERS have fled) and a high rate of property crimes... also there could be a decent number of Hispanics living there, with huge work vans ... an absence of HOA or a lax HOA... very little greenspace for a small park park or either the HOA funded amenities have fallen or starting to fall into disrepair .
Additionally, appreciation usually always severely lags the the rest of the city’s suburbs that have much a lower concentration of predominantly black and brown burbs . So therefore, the resale pool is really restricted .
You know a “lower” tier black burb when you enter , even if at first glance it seems straight . If your GPS takes you outside the city limits to 1245 Wakanda Ln., you already know

I hate when mfs from the city talkin bout “south suburban ass nikkas”. It’s some parts of Harvey,Robbins Ford Heights, that are on par with the city as far as
I got a relative who a Cook County Sheriff, he said it’s a lot of shyt that goes on in the south burbs that don’t make the news just cuz it’s the burbs
that is true. the way crime is tabulated/reported in chicagoland region is a joke....even chicago murders are at least 10% underreported. for instance many times people are injured and die weeks/months later. unless a news organization has followed up and reported it, they are almost never added to homicide totals.

Yep. It would be some middle class nikkas from Chatham saying some shyt about Riverdale or Dolton when the nikkas that live in those towns were the former inhabitants of the Taylors and Ickes.

Gentrification >>>>>
Getting rid of feral black people and scummy whites,whilst reducing crime and providing job opportunities.
Gentrification <<<<<< black people getting pushed out,loss of culture,more whites move in,loud drunk white folk covered in their own vomit after a night out.
Its a double edged sword.
If you are smart enough you will reap more benefits though.

They won't be "worse" they'll just switch.
Any city with a growing population is going to start having displacement as a middle-class develops in the inner-urban area, suburban sprawl, which generally entailed infrastructure for cars instead of public transit, is going to become more appealing to lower-middle class and lower class people who finally have the opportunity to purchase property.
Look at Euclid, OH. The average home value in the entirety of the city dropped as the availability of homes opened up, and the population is like 50% Black now, a significant jump from the 90s. Due to this, it has become more violent and the school quality has dropped dramatically. Most of Cleveland's other suburbs have avoided this fate, but not all.
I personally would still prefer a home with space over a townhome or apartment.

The hell are you talking about, there's the city, with dense population. Then theres the suburbs outside of the city with low density. Most of american cities not real cities., just interconnected suburbs with a downtown. Only real cities are, San Francisco, Oakland, Miami, New Orleans, most midwest, and entire eastcoast.
No. I’ve been to Gary Indiana twice and saw no buses.Educate me, how are blacks being cut from resources?
I know transportation can be an issue, but is there no bus system? Out here the buses run to all the schools. And then there's Uber of course, but I know that's expensive too. And the schools are ass, but if you can make it past highschool you can go to college off the Pell Grant. That's if transportation worksI don't know much about Chicago, so idk.
The Black people were hurting bad.
East st Louis
Gary is connected to downtown Chicago and other suburbs of chi via commuter rail
It’s a lot of factory jobs around Gary, and I do believe they have bus lines if I’m not mistaken
Even South Holland is becoming a shythole from what I heard. Maybe 25-30 years ago south holland was homewood-flossmoor status same with matteson
Yep. It would be some middle class nikkas from Chatham saying some shyt about Riverdale or Dolton when the nikkas that live in those towns were the former inhabitants of the Taylors and Ickes.

I’m from Allentown.. you would swear people in here talking like it’s reading..
Allentown is a lot better now than about 15 years ago when I was in high school... people actually come into the city now with the PP&L arena and they have some shops on Hamilton.. I mean, it’s still not hopping because everyone from the Lehigh valley go out in Bethlehem and even Easton, but seriously there are much worst places then Allentown, like reading, Chester, Camden etc
Also, Allentown is no way a suburb, nothing about the layout and population per sq mile is suburban except the west side
Sorry, had to defend my area, good discussion otherwise.. surprised people ain’t being up the DC Maryland satillite towns in this discussion

The American Middle Class was the majority, now it is less than 50%.
When you have country that is not majority middle class it becomes easier for elites and corporations and related stooges to control the population, because they become more dependent on the government to maintain a decent lifestyle without overwhelming struggle.

I went there once and didn't think it looked bad. I hear it can get pretty ratchet but it doesn't look run down like Camden does
And yeah I agree that it's not a suburb, just a small city
