Umm ya bamas know LA, DMV, Detroit & Chi-Raq are getting "gentrifried" too right?

[Wild self]

In the next 20 years, all the poor (read: minorities) will be pushed out into Newark, Irvington, Orange, Yonkers and the outermost fringe areas of the boroughs. Yall New Yorkers....you live in the most attractive city on the globe. You're not only competing with the 1% in the country that want to live in New York but, the wealthy from across the world. They're gonna keep driving the price up and tearing down your neighborhoods. It ain't hard to understand. If you're a landlord and you have a choice between renting to low income tenants or selling to a luxury loft/condo developer, which choice you making, b?

The first wave is already in process. Williamsburg, Park Slope, Long Island City, Astoria, Harlem now too. There's apartments in Williamsburg going for $3,000 and $5,000 a month. I know sh*t wasn't like that in the 80s and the 90s. All yall people with rent controlled apartments thinking yall safe? Yea, aight By 2030, Manhattan will a place for the rich and wealthy. The upper middle class will live in the boroughs. All the poor muthafukkas will be out in Jersey somewhere. D.C. about ten years behind but, I see the same pattern happening here.

Nah, even Jersey is getting gentrified. They gonna be living way up in Albany, NY, in Newburgh, NY, in Dela-where, or down the rural parts of the south.

Cut it out, b. Newark, Patterson and East Orange are still sh*tholes. New York will always need poor people to serve the rich people working in the city. The poor just won't be living in prime real estate that's 10 minutes away from downtown.

The thing is that 1 hr commutes outside of NYC is starting to become a thing among livable wage workers. How far out will service industry, minimum wage workers be pushed?

I doubt Bloomberg cares

New York will end up like Paris. Rich inside the core/city, middle class in the inner ring, poor in the outer ring. More and more middle class and upper middle class people are gonna move to NYC in droves. They can't afford to stay in Manhattan. Where are they gonna go? The boroughs. All the neighborhoods in close distance to Manhattan like Bed-Stuy, Bushwick and Flatbush will shoot up in price. Any neighborhood thats a 30 min subway ride will be gentrified. Places like Coney Island or East New York will stay the same because it's too far away. The low income people will live in those far off areas in the boroughs, some more in a few scattered mixed-income neighborhoods throughout the city and the rest out in Jersey. If I was a rich, white pompous city planner, that's how I'd do it

There is more to it than you think. They may be shyt holes now, but if you think that gentrification isn't real in them nearby spots in jersey, you ain't seen it yet. Maybe in south Jersey like Camden will still be grimey, but North Jersey is going under major construction.

I know breh. Im fully entrenched in the underground NY scene. I even try n help cats here and there in my hood. But honestly at this point in the game. We just gonna have to sit back, and let these boys do what they have to do to make it.

Im pretty sure SOMEBODY will strike lightening eventually. I think Troy Ave found a winning formula. Now we just have to wait for a nikka who can actually be global follow the same route.

Troy Ave?

that's what makes it so easy to gentrify in NYC.... you build up, not out.

It's a lot easier to displace thousands of people who live in a place, that takes up a relatively small area of land.

if it was a neighborhood of single family homes it'd be far more difficult to gentrify.

Breh u are not from NY, I doubt you walked these South Bronx streets it will be extremely difficult to gentrify especially with the time lapses y'all nikkas is talking about. Talking about 5 years

How long do you think it'll take?

Honestly, I don't think it will ever gentrify only pockets of the South Bronx will gentrify. I'm talking Yankee Stadium area, the Hub on 149th Street, by the Gateway Mall. The entire South Bronx which is composed of dozens of neighborhoods will not fully gentrify. Hunts Point has warehouses that can be converted into lofts if developers are willing to invest, but prostitution is still heavy down there and it's still an overwhelmingly black and Puerto Rican area and one of the worst parts of NYC.

Imagine Morrisania looking like Williamsburg, Brooklyn

I don't think so

You soundin foolish

Billionaire investors from China, Australia and the Emirates have the funds to destroy and rebuild. It's going to happen, maybe not in 5, but certainly no more than 10-15 years. It's like some of you don't understand that real estate is a big boy game but I'll let you live out these twilight years....

Man I won't forget this if I'm here in 5-10 years I'll quote you

Dog, i'm telling you... because of them building up, and not out... and the majority of the residents being renters... it's far easier to gentrify.

razing a 20 story apartment building, is far easier to do... than having to individually attempt to buy property from up from hundreds/thousands of homeowners,demolish....and then start to rebuild.

nikka, do you know how fast things can change in 5 years?

especially in today's world. It gonna be a snowball effect and once all the other boroughs are gentrified, everyone will come at the South Bronx at once. When that day comes, whether it is 5 years or 30 years from now, shyt will turn ugly.
