Transplants/Gentrification

[Yakno1]

Since gentrification is taking place in many cities across the country
(NY,DC,LA,CHI,HOUSTON,SEATTLE,DENVER,ATLANTA,ST LOUIS, BMORE, OKC, NO ETC)

Do you think they bring a new look/style to a city? How do you view transplants?

 

[Larry Lobster]

Body transplants?

 

[King Poetic]

i hate them

The reason L.A. gets a bad rep about being fake and phony is because of transplant who believe the image of L.A. should be glamour and glitz , but in reality we are are smog and the pitts.

I don't mind alot of people, but i hate well back in N.Y. we have this or we have that and i'm not like these so called cali girls, i'm this or that..

Even when i'm back in ohio visting fam i keep my mouth shut and do what i do and i don't say shyt about cali and the lifestyle.. i keep it to myself

It's the direct opposite in NYC. They come here trying to get that image of a starving artist like they're down with the struggle when in reality they're trust fund babies with parents that make 300k+ a year.

And that is no exaggeration because that is what you must make to even qualify for these 'Brooklyn artist lofts'.

Made ATL into a place filled with rude people now. I went to ATL back in 2001, and it was nothing like ATL of 2011 (when I went down there the 2nd time)

Negro Please. Atlanta ain't North Carolina or VA. nikkas here aint walking around with Yankee fitteds and saying "yo son" like those posing ass NC and VA cats. Yall come here and fit into the fabric like everybody else. Not to mention most of yall dont even move to the city anyway, yall be out in Alpharetta, Roswell and Gwinnett County. The only NY cats you ever see in the city are usually at the AUC, and those cats rarely venture off campus.

Atlanta people always been ruder than other cities in the south. That shyt has nothing to do with NY dudes. Its because its a city of business and industry, been that way since the late 1800's. Atlanta was never a plantation society city, it was pretty much industry and business from the jump. Thats why the Union burned it down in the Civil War, cuz Atlanta was the city with the factories that made all the supplies they needed to fight with.
