My neighborhood is well kept, low to middle income people who managed to pay their homes off. They are now trying to pitch the word "revitalization", when actually it's gentrification. During a city council meeting I asked them why are they not telling current homeowners that their property tax will skyrocket. They looked shocked as if I cussed them out.
You know why. Because they are low key or in the closet investors with these real estate agents that are buying homes in poor and lower income areas, they are going to make bank. Don't forget some of the buyers are foreign investors They could have brought these areas up years ago, instead of letting them go down, they wanted them to go down

All neighborhoods seem to be changing. Whether they're changing for the good or bad is a matter of personal perception. What is bad is rents continue to rise. America has become a renters/landlord business. & It's BIG business, more so then the GDP. Higher rents are now everywhere. Where to go when displaced? To rural areas not yet touched by greed. If you can: 'go to the deep south and far north, away from urban centers & greedy landlords, and corrupt politicians. Some people spend more than half their monthly income on their rent. That is like working just to keep a roof. It's sad.
I like the way you worded it but even if you head to the "wilderness" you'll still have to pay rent. Those BIG companies bought the wilderness too. If someone goes broke and ends up homeless there an elephant in the room to deal with......If companies can't make money off you, you get T2'ed. They'll take your clothes, your boots, your bike and yes.....the sunglasses. 🕶️ 😆😆😆
Why is it so hard to provide affordable housing in these gentrified neighbourhoods so they arent forced into homelessness due to being unable to afford the cost. With that these low income families can also benefit from the changes in their neighbourhoods.The fact they were living in those neighborhoods the first place shows they don't make much.
Poor people ain't even human to them. We're like cattle or something. Just something in the way to be moved. Happening to me in NM, they didn't even offer us our places back and they started with evictions last week right before Christmas. The new owners bought it 3 weeks ago. These m************ are psychopaths they need to be like physically stopped. People need to stand up man cuz that's the only thing they're going to f****** understand. And these rich people need to know they ain't f****** going to be safe with their little bureaucratic policies and their rights to make money. My complex is a little community and half the people are disabled. They ain't even offer and help to move or to find a new place. That's inhumane they should be required to. I guess this is happening everywhere, which actually means it's such a big problem people need to wake up already and fold these rich people's f****** hands one way or another... if I end up homeless the m************ that did this are going to have to start looking for a coffin... How far can you push people?? How much do you really need when you already well off?? It's never enough for these m************.... 😡
You can afford to choose. The working class families who lived their for generations were not given a choice whether or not they want the price of living and rent to increase.
@@Pass____over That's got nothing to do with it. Let's use some common sense and just call it the way it actually is.That area is or was straight ghetto. All the basics on Maslow's hierarchy of needs and then some has been met for decades and decades. The neighborhood was at one point in time nice then slowly turned ghetto, values dropped, nobody wants to be there, bars on windows, crime ridden no hope, (still nobody starving, nice cars and clothes everywhere) dilapidated then slowly different people move in, plant flowers, clean the streets and trash, paint the houses, open coffee shop, values increase, becomes safer and viola gentrified. I worked at Pepsi and was in that area a lot years ago and it was straight ghetto. I've seen people pulling out pistols at mom and pop stores at noon on a Wednesday. Fast forward 20 years and it's becoming gentrified which basically means nice again. Same pattern all over.
Who wants a safe neighborhood....bad bad gentrifiers... Its NOT about who moves in its about who moves out. When property values increase many people see that as an opportunity to sell and make a little money. He chose to stay...some did not.
it displaces the poor who often need to stay close to the city for jobs but only have the money for the poor neighborhoods l. you're not making them clean & safe, just moving the problem around like hot potato.
Here's a no story. One in which that got better, quiet is better, but you try to create a story. If this would have been the reverse where a guy complained that those moving in brought violence, crime and properties looking unkempt and a mess would be called a racist. This guy doesn't realize how lucky he is. Quiet is better than gunfire!
“My block” what do you own. Can we all just get alone or is what you want is people like yourself? I meet my new neighbors and like them too and I got new experiences and memories. Change....
Its all quiet and you dont see anyone out. I think thats a good thing. Or do you want loud music, gunshots, drug dealing. People hanging out in the corner with their pants sagging?
What if the community is already nice? Then all of a sudden there is a lot of 200,000 homes being built and your current value is not that high yet, your property taxes skyrocket to the same level as the 200,000 homes. Some people are not interested in selling their homes, even if the value went up.
And what causes drugs, violent behavior and low income? White exodus, taking the jobs away and red lining. It's no coincidence that this is a pattern, nationwide, where these once white majority communities were abandoned, because white people during the 60s and back, refused to reside around Black people. And they want those same neighborhoods back.

Why so many think gentrification is bad,and to try to push black families out of the neighborhood ? By saying it's bad you are basically saying that black people can't ever be successful or afford a good living. Stop playing victim and work hard to get into a good life instead of whining ,and pointing fingers thinking there is some sort of agenda to push black people out of good neighborhoods.
As someone from Tampa, that's what's been happening for a very long time. They've constantly pushed the poor from neighborhoods, which is mostly minorites and then you see rich white people move in. I've watched it happen to multiple neighborhoods and I'm only 27. Now there's almost nothing that the poor or working class can afford. Many of us living in Tampa for our whole life can't afford enough space for our families. My fiance is a construction worker and there is beginning to be almost no where in Tampa we can afford. It's gotten ridiculous. Do you know who the majority of people who do the hard working low paying jobs are? Minorites. My so is white and has done lawn maintenance, painting and a variety of other construction, currently demo but he was usually the only white guy on a crew. Why is it mostly filled with minorites? There the ones who would to take a little less pay just to keep a job to provide for their families the only ways they know how. But yes those in these fields shouldn't be able to have a place to live just build you your fancy new homes whine destroying a rich history and move on

Why can't they afford it? Property taxes? Let's rid ourselves of this ridiculous tax.

streets are quiet, nobody outside anymore. what's wrong with that????
Ppl being outside is a good thing thats how u meet ppl n develop a sense of community
The opening scene said it all unmowed grass, weeds growing through the cracks in the sidewalks and unpruned trees

Just move towards the west of Holton.

Sorry that communities get nicer and attract more moral people…

Im still surviving gentrification on my American Cherokee Indian ancestors land. Forever. Who mad??
I am really confused.
Yeah this is really poor storytelling.
Sir own your house.
Maybe if they took care of their neighborhoods in the first place
It changed for the better
“I’ve lived here 37 years”…
So you still live at home with mama?
Most survivors of gentrification are long time homeowners. That's how they don't get priced out unlike most everyone else that's ethnic.
There are no people blue or green. What caused the gentrification? Drugs, violent behavior or low income?
