That's what always intrigued me about Chicago. One type/class of area could be just a block away from another. shyt would make me wanna move far away from that shyt, like the north burbs. Very north

This is very true... Lotta folks going to Lansing, Dolton etc
Dolton and Cal City got the first wave of folks years ago when they tore down the projects in the low end, but now folks are going as far as Matteson, Monee, and Merriville Indiana
I must say...
The gentrification in Chicago, Baltimore, and in SF/Oakland makes what's going on here in NYC look tame in retrospect (except for Police kicking peopel out of their apartments for nothing).
It's obvious the powers that be are pricing poor blacks out of the city limits into the burbs, or allowing black people to kill each other off...then move whites and asians in IMMEDIATELY.
Then they move there, and call the cops on the black residents like they haven't lived there for decades before they came in.
My question is...what happens when yuppies get priced out?
America is truly doomed.

I grew up in Cabrini Green, and it absolutely was the hood. I mean, what else is the most dangerous housing projects in America but the hood?
Pretty much all the south loop used to be hood. You can still see remnants of it on like 21st and Wabash.
Damn.From what I understand, Cabrini was a shyt place that put poor blacks within spitting distance of more well-to-do neighborhoods.
Amongst the bullshyt, you could see down the block people who don't have to struggle. Them folks were pushed out ages ago so...they might as well turn it
into a moneymaker. I'm sure most folks know that Chicago is not cheap to live in, and at any time them boys can come through and flip your neighborhood
and price you out.sucks but fukk it. Hopefully brehs find opportunity among the displacement.
That sounds like when they tore down the project buildings in East Liberty. It just displaced mad poor people into other areas...while East Liberty got gentrified.

Yessir all that Richton park etc...
the sole reason they sports teams done came up
I'm really not sure what's next.... Altho I doubt the attempt to gentrify the south side will work it's interesting. Spots like Garfield red line or 63rd King , I can't see it happening. But strong signs are when Starbucks etc start getting built. They did recently open a Dunkin donuts not too far from 55th green line.
They doing it in the south too.
The old Magnolia Projects held 1000s of people.
Now they're are called Harmony Oaks, only housing a few hundred. It's still mainly Black, but they have displaced a lot of Blacks.
These developers and city officials know something that Blacks don't.

Yea, it was the very definition of a "project", and after a while, them folks got moved out. There was nothing nice about Cabrini Green, and its one thing to giveDamn.

poor blacks affordable housing, but it was on some slum shyt in no time. Gave folks homes but not much else, meanwhile if they walk a couple miles in any direction, money flowing.
Not sad to see the shyt gone, but Cabrini Green was infamous for a reason.

Ain't nobody tryin to get indicted.
I grew up Richmond. I live in West Oakland. White people used to be terrified of the west. Now they run it. I talk to the permanent residents of Oakland. They hate the renters because they'be driven the rent up for permanent residents. The non permanent residents typically are:
A) are scared of permanent residents B) are renting until they can move to Berkeley or SF C) buy cheap store fronts and turn them into businesses while not hiring permanent residents of the community. Unless it's for poor paying positions.
Black people are moving to Sacramento, Valleyjo, and out of California. I might move back to Richmond to save some money while I finish school. I love Oakland though.
I live in Hyde Park and they're trying to gentrify west ofthe actual park, since my area(I live right by the lake/lake shore drive) is bursting at the seams already. What I'm about to say may sound messed up, but I seriously wouldn't have a problem with all our brothers and sisters people living in the south suburbs but they'd ALL have to make a COLLECTIVE effort and sacrifice to take care of the neighborhoods and go to school and get good jobs and take care of thier families, which is asking a lot. It's just so many hoodlums and so much mess out here it's hard.the sole reason they sports teams done came up
