to get the full effect of this, Google maps would have had to have been out in the fukking 80s-90s. Still the changes are very glaring here. I keep telling people that soon youre gonna have to go visit the Bronx like a tourist to see what "old" New York used to look like.

The Bronx as a whole is moving in slow motion with this gentrification ish compared to the rest of the city but it will get here eventually (10 years is a starting point). Just waiting for the CAConizers to show up with their cameras and surveying equipment.


i have not been back to the Bronx since i left in the mid 90's.
shyt was crazy.

i heard about some SoBro movement where they where trying to gentrify the South Bronx but i went to a funeral there recently and it was all Black and Latino.
i didn't see any abandoned lots when i was there, like an entire block just blown the fukk out...that was nice to see.

They are trying to fix up parts of Mott Haven near the water but the projects/ratchetness near by dont make it very easy.

Alot of people like you move to Philly.

http://www.phillymag.com/articles/ex-new-yorkers-start-again-philly/

Nikkas in here talking about paying $3,000 for rent :wtf: In Philly $3,000 will get you a 3 bedroom luxury loft apartment in center city. Then you can go back to NYC on the weekends if you want because its so close.

Good info. I'm sorta in the same predicament that the poster you quoted is in. I want to gtfo out of Brooklyn and live somewhere affordable. How's upstate ny?

What $3,000 gets you in New York. Its a pre-war building on the upper west side though :mjlol:
