.......lol. am i retarded asks the man that cant figure out why people leave the hood.


.....
....the gem of the thread.....I remember moving to the burbs and wondering why some of the kids were more ratchet than the folks on my old block.lower middle class black suburbs (extra high density developments, super small lot sizes, five feet distance from your neighbor, budget construction & materials with quick builds and zero character) have been growing for the past several years. those are the "new hood" as gentrification continues to push folks out.
the burbs are black folks new home in most sizeable cities and it's not all voluntary.


First thing I said while reading this too.
What do you think is more hood, Downtown Dallas, or the suburb of Oak Cliff?![]()
thats going to end soon with your boy trump and his Sec of Educations, "school choice" program
100% agreed on the mentality down here. Had to cut off some fam and many friends. Any talk about self-improvement gets laughed off, and folk comfortable complaining. shyt sadInner.
A lot of people honestly just don't have the resources man. And there's a certain mentality down here that sucks.
I've been reading books on investments and sharing my knowledge and literally no one caresone guy laughed at me because I said I was thinking about retirement. I cut him off the 3rd week of dating bc he literally was trying to tell me I'm nuts for wanting better. Like the mindset down here is fukkin retarded. Ignorance gets everyone's attention and people who are trying to make it or made out to look like something wrong with them. I miss that East coast grind (DMV) and progress mentality.
I honestly know exactly where you were going with your OP but it's deeper than just buying up property.
Getting into that housing game is really chess and right now everybody seems to know the game but BLACK folks.

Because they don't want to be robbed and killed. Sir, please don't act like people won't become a lick if they have money and live in the hood around broke hood nikkas who don't have anything. Especially if they have money and they're law-abiding citizens. Nobody wants to be a victim.
