We don not want the subway system extended into the outer boroughs 🤢. You don’t see how NYC’s constant construction is destroying the environment? Neighborhoods closer to the subways have more rats than outer boroughs. I live in one of the 5 boroughs and it takes me 90 minutes to reach lower Manhattan. I have to take a bus to a train. I literally don’t see any rats in my neighborhood compared to when I’m in Bedstuy or Harlem. Jesus, protect us. NYC “expanding” is already the problem.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that as population increases, either the number of homes increases at the same rate, or the price will increase since demand is going up faster than supply?
It's those strict zoning laws and minimum parking requirements are what's making housing unaffordable anywhere. Heck, it's making it more difficult for small businesses to set shop.
I lived in BedStuy from 2008-2013. Putnam & Tompkins. It was the best place and neighborhood I’ve lived in throughout my years in New York City. My neighbors were Black and this was their neighborhood they cherished. They were welcoming & nice. I respected this and it’s sad to see Gentrification moving them out.
Absolutely disgraceful!! Makes me sick. But the time is near when people will build and have occupancy of their own. Plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not for someone else to inhabit. - Isa. 65:21, 22
At the end of the day, nobody cares if you clap, sing and protest. You don't want gentrification? Then hold on to your house and don't sell it. I'm a black man who lives in a wealthy area. When my wife and I pass, we're giving our house to our children. We've already taught them just how important it is to own property, so they're going to make sure it stays in the family. I don't care if it takes two or three family members to do so, pay that mortgage every month and pay it off and don't lose your house!
I have done the same but many of the homes that sold were heirs property. The parties who didn't want to sell didn't have a choice. If one of your children wants to sell and the other doesn't, guess what? The sale will be forced.
I grew up in east Flatbush from the 70s, my grandmother, my aunt all lived in the neighborhood, rent was from 300-600, times were hard, but we managed to survive, now my moms old apartment goes for over 2000,yet the building is in shambles, that’s crazy. My wife and I pay less than 2000 for 2500 square feet home, with full basement and half acre land, quite subdivision in small Georgia town. It was the best thing we did, I still love my old hood,just sad to see its impact on citizens
Before I even saw it, I knew you were gon say Georgia. Shhh....we're full and running over. Won't be too long before we face the same issues in Georgia and SC because of the mass influx. Everything is already more than it used to be.
@@jonc718 I remember hearing about gentrification is coming and saw it happen way back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I grew up in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn from 1987 to 1993 . I went away to school and came back in 1996 and left again in 1997 . I now live and own a home in Rhode Island.
Bedstuy where I live is probably the fastest affected area of Gentrification in Brooklyn. Was just talking to and teaching my kids today about Gentrification as they asked me about how and why the neighborhood has changed so fast and why everything has become so expensive, and I told them what many fail to say or wont admit that the root cause IS GREED PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
I lived in NYC my entire life until I moved to NJ two years ago. I do pay quite a bit more monthly in rent but I have the same square footage and it's in a brand new building with all modern appliances, I see magnificent sunsets, I have all the necessary amenities and am near shopping and transit, and it's significantly quieter than NYC. However, more and more buildings are being constructed everywhere in my neighborhood and most of those apartments are smaller than mine but the rents are way higher, thus the rising cost of living out here. I actually wanted to move into one of the newer buildings but can't justify paying the increase. Like they say in the video, this isn't just gentrification, this is greed by building owners. And if you take a good look at where all the new buildings are going up whether in sections of the boroughs of NYC or in NJ, what else do you see near all these buildings? Storage facilities and it doesn't matter when it's Life Storage or Cube Smart, Safeguard Storage, they are independently owned and it's the owners of these buildings that own these storage facilities. They purposely make apartments nice BUT smaller, and people moving in don't want to get rid of all their stuff so they'll rent a storage locker, basically higher rent to live in the building PLUS a monthly storage fee for the stuff they can't fit in their apartment. So now you're paying $2,500 or way more a month for rent PLUS $100+ a month for storage.
Aside from the humble bragging you're doing, Why tf would you even consider moving when you're already living in new building with a nice view, lower priced rent, etc? Do you hop from apartment to apartment like the way people upgrade their phones every two years?
Same here, my wife and I bought a house in Stratford, CT. Of course monthly payment is a bit higher, but we a 3 bed 2 bath for a great price, huge lot, the whole deal.
They have been complaining about high rent for decades and the politicians haven’t really address it. Many Manhattanites used to move to the other boroughs to combat high rent. Now the high rent issue has spread throughout the boroughs.
@@Militantreturns more like 25 years. parents rent in 2000, went up from $610 to $800 (31% increase) so they had to move. now? old place listed on zillow for $3,600. thankfully am blessed enough to take care of them now.
Brooklyn is very expensive for no reason because the sad part is it is still the same and it still looks the same after all these years.the only difference is they cleaned up dumbo and downtown area,and they also put the Barclays and more eateries downtown.but other then that,for them to go up that highly on the cost of living because of gentrification is ridiculous!the only difference is they have more police ONLY because of how gentrified it is now🤦🏽♀️
Yes I can’t even walk through my neighborhood, bedstuy anymore because it makes me nauseous how much gentrification has wiped out almost everything and everyone I grew up with.
The orthodox Jewish community is the major driver of gentrification, housing inflation, and displacement in black and brown neighborhoods in nyc. It seems to me largely unnoticed because they are not flashy people. It's a flex for them that they completely dominated the housing market and have a firm grip on almost every neighborhood. But it's a big hardship on everyone else, including white people who also can't afford to stay in the neighbors they used to live some comfortably in. And if you try to buy a house or rent an apartment, you will see they control all aspects of the process, from being the listing agents, the brokers, to mortgage lender, the building developer, and even the lawyers involved. They will push prices as high as our elected officials will let them. And it's all fair game in capitalism, but something has to give.
The missing element in the room. The thing no one wants to mention. Realtor in the Bronx. Recently started doing business in BK. Folks get mad at me for door knocking.. I get it. but BK is a whole different world than the BX. In theBX we know Jews own the buildings. but they drive back to BK we dont see them daily. In BK you see it much clearer. Its wild. BUt the game is the game. How are we gonna play it?
It's bad where I live. I used to live in Brooklyn myself now live in Indiana. Whenever I come back I see how different is. Sadly the neighborhood I live in Indiana went from black to Mexican and a few whites
My grandparents who lived on 13th street and 5th avenue (Park Slope) are rolling over in their graves! Last I checked their brownstone sold for $2.5M in 2022🤦🏻♀️. When my Dad sold their home back in 2000 he got $263,500….what a difference 20+ years makes!
Rachel is considering moving down South to South Carolina. Well, I am sorry Rachel, gentrification is happening in the South. Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina is experiencing gentrification as large and small cities are all over the United States of America. We've seen gentrification here in Washington, D.C. for the last 20 years and it continues. 😪😪😪
You cant sell your building to the highest bidder. Not good enough, the owner MUST give the building to the tenants and keep paying the property taxes. But first, renovate, ALL the units. New appliances are a must. Dont forget to come by and shovel the snow during winter.
Gentrification is all over including Europe. If you shut your eyes 👀 while listening to the news 🗞️ the residents who are getting squeezed out sound just like the rest of us except for their accents.
This was a done deal when the Barclays center was built and all the manhattan residents came across the bridge. Its a wrap now, there is no walking this back
If you didn't buy a house 20+ years ago when they were so affordable and easy to qualify for you missed out on the best of times to become a home owner and pass that house on to your children and grand children. I bought a house working as a hairdresser back then. So many thought it was fun to rent, well it's not fun now. These older people had every opportunity to step up and buy a house back then. Too late now, I feel sorry for the young people today.
this is news? I work in NY and it seems that everyone and their grandma wants to live in Brooklyn over even Manhattan because of the 'vibes". The fact that even the majority of celebrities who live in NYC choose Brooklyn as their home only makes it more viable for gentrification.
That's totally false, not true. Whatsoever. Brooklyn has never been super expensive, like it is now all the housing projects and all the low-income housing have always been affordable since the 70s. When I lived there but nowadays, the generification is horrible and many states all the way to california and florida
@jasontomica8938 they interviewed people in Park slope and surrounding areas for this fluff piece. I paid $1, 200.00 for a one bedroom in Park slope, 24 years ago. My friend had a share up the block at the same time. She paid $1,000.00. In 1999 I lived in bed Stuy, I had a garden apartment - it was $900.00. In 2002 I had a studio in Crown Heights, it was $900.00. "Cheap" where? These prices weren't overinflated either, they were standard. The last cheap neighborhoods I know of were Bushwick and Brownsville. In the year 2000, I was seeing apartments around there for $600.00 . I have no idea what they cost now but they were the last two holdout areas. I'm sure those prices are long gone.
@@lisabrightlyMy father was paying $450 for a three bedroom in Bushwick in 1987 and brought a house in Ridgewood queen then sold it for $100,000 in 1994
Truth be told the city shot itsself in the leg. There is alot of 4 to 6 multfamily rent stablize building for sale going cheap. But alot of small investors like myswlf are not willing to take the risk cause there is no profit and the current owners will end up selling to larger investors who has the money to demo the building and put up this large condos or luxury rental that only the high earners can afford .
there are pros and cons to gentrification. i inherited a house that my parents paid very little for when i was born and sold it for $700k+ after my mom passed unexpectedly. the area was once working class and now it is being built up. a lot of new yorkers complaining about gentrification did not purchase property when they could have…it was not always expensive to buy apartments or even a townhome in manhattan or the outlying boroughs 30 or so years ago. now the ship has sailed, so to me this is just bad financial planning, short-sightedness, and laziness. renting just puts money in the pockets of landlords at the end of the day and the sooner you can get off that train the better.
I agree to an extent with your comment . However , the “ I inherited a property from my parents “ , is kind of out of touch with the average working civilian in Brooklyn. Unfortunately , many ppl who lived in Brooklyn back in the day came from poor families with little to no financial literacy. You were fortunate to have parents that looked out and it paid off for YOU. The only thing the residents can do is move to another state , and buy property some place else.
@@LisaHill-r5fthat part about just move to another state. That’s the issue moving to other states now drive up the cost of living for the natives of that state. Even more so the people that promote moving overseas are driving up cost of living for those people in overseas countries. It’s never ending. Red lining is a thing but it doesn’t barre you from owing a home. It can slow you down but not stop you. I have family in Brooklyn it’s bad financial planning. Doing everything else but focusing on building. I get it NYC has all the shiny things to spend your money on but I’ve witnessed too much living above means from New Yorkers
This started in the 80s. Park slope/Windsor terrace were working class neighborhoods. Just about every last person from that period had to move away due to the price hikes. Who are these people replacing us???
More corporations are buying out apartment buildings and charging high rents, thus mom and pop start charging high rents also. Even in the "hood" rent is too high. It's greed. Pure greed. People are going to have to fight back. Yes, buy the building.
The city is complicit in the high rent, there are so many statutes that prop up overvaluation even if a building hasn’t had tenants in years NYC real estate is a Ponzi scheme that too many people rely on … it will never be allowed to fail.
I rarely watch “local” news anymore, but damn…. It’s the same stories as 15 yrs ago. “Gentrification”, “Apartment fire in the Bronx”, “3yr old falls out of 5th story window”, “he was a good kid”.
It was never our neighborhood. We’re renters. When it’s time to move, move. It sucks but it’s not the end of the world. People relocate halfway across the globe to come here. We’re complaining about moving to another neighborhood or boro? It’ll be ok people
You apparently don't know the history. My family has one property in Brooklyn since the early 1800's. During the Great Migration, Black families came up from the south and those who could, purchased homes even though they were not given government backed mortgages to do it. Later families from the Caribbean came and did the same. Families who refinanced to improve their homes were put into mortgages with conditions that made them loose their homes. Other homes were taken by eminent domain or by fraud. The people who come here from across the globe CHOOSE to come here. They can always go back home. That's very different from being forced out of your life long home whether you own it or not.
If you dont want your suburb changing you should care about this. The people in the cities have to move somewhere cheaper. Maybe its your 90% white burb.
Some of these neighborhoods, you never step foot in back in the days. Now it's much safer and cleaner. People need to to adapt to change, it's part of life.
@carisowealthy elaborate. ? Around. That time. Bruce rattner. And jay-z. Weren't. In the picture. And the nets was still in jersey. So let's. See. What your reasoning is
Gentrification in Bklyn has been going on this is nothing new. Its not just BK its everywhere. The cost of housing due to this record inflation has got up not just hete but all over. Certain neighborhoods that were once prodomitly white are going back to that. This city is crap to begin with. Honestly if ppl can move out of NYC sometimes they are better off. For a better quality of living.
Ppl have lived in these neighborhoods forever they don’t invest into it and never take action to protect themselves, when ppl come in and so just that. Its a problem
The people who lived in these neighbors did invest in them. They invested their money, blood, sweat and tears in community building. They are the ones who advocated and created block associations to make sure that essential services were delivered when the agencies funded by their tax dollars didn't do their jobs. They created neighborhood patrols, ambulance corps and served on school boards. Block associations banded together as neighborhood associations that later became economic development corporations. The Bed-Stuy Restoration Corp and Flatbush Development Corp are just two examples. The people that "came in" wouldn't have come, if it weren't for the work of the people who were already there. The people that "came in" don't have the same sense of community nor do they have respect for what community meant before they "came in". Typical though.
❗❌⛔ Even if they can buy the building. The taxes, repairs, etc will only INCREASE! Within a few years the neighborhood will be a crime scene. ⛔⛔🚫⚠☢☣. 😭😭Its NOT GREED! I'm an investor in private equity. We have bills to pay too. The docking fees for my yacht has increase 30%. Landing fees for my Gulfstream also increase by 15%. Fuel, staffing, insurance, repairs has increased for us too!😭. GET OVER IT!
Born raised in BK…..moved a while ago ….when I go there now it’s not like a neighborhood….its expensive, transient, people don’t speak , overcrowded, the parking situation is even worst
People can't afford to live anywhere in the country set alarm New York why would you even stay in that City that city is not the same like it was 50 years ago
You mean in the 70s during borderline bankruptcy, growing crime rate and Son of Sam, among other things? Sure culturally there was punk, disco, the origins of hip-hop, and yes, rent was cheap, but the city had major problems back then, too.
Black folks have to start pooling their resources and getting ahead of this trend before they're left in the cold. Black Women Built is an excellent organization in Baltimore teaching carpentry, plumbing & electrical skills while sending their students out to restore and rehab homes in Baltimore.
Sadly, even as a new gentrifier myself, I can barely afford to live out here too. It really is a crazy time and I do truly feel bad for those who have even less than me. We're not gonna survive if this keeps up. And it's not even NYC. Even small US cities and suburbs are outrageously expensive now. It's expensive to own and to rent. No escaping it.
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLke The migration surges have always settled down. That's why Nyc was once known for being Italian, Jewish, Black, Irish, and Puerto Rican at one time. While people are constantly moving into the city, it does not qualify as a "surge" at all. I saw the 70'-late 90's in Brooklyn firsthand growing up there.

Same thing is happening in Boston, but people were warned. It seemed liked nothing else worked to clean up these drug & crime infested neighborhoods--and that also includes South Boston with the Irish gang nonsense. But moving educated & wealthier people into the neighborhood ultimately did the job. This is a warning for North Philadelphia & Baltimore. You better start getting it together, or their residents will find themselves moving out
😢🤔 born and raised there all my life. The blacks have never done nothing for the communities. I’m just saying I moved back in 2012 because in 2012 the prices was already going up. They’ve been saying this for years to try to make change. nothing is going to happen. They make these news reports but the community especially the Hispanics in the black donuts stick together when it comes to these issues, unfortunately and the crime is extremely high right now.
Weird how, on the one hand, prices on basics are rising astronomically and, on the other hand, more of an underclass is being created with not only Americans being priced out, but also large numbers of poor migrants being invited in.
I was 2nd wave gentrifier in Bedstuy living in the same apartment from 2010 to 2019. The whole thing is very scary. I was a barista and work in set decoration and window dressing. Now my friends who are lawyers and doctors and architects/designers now live there. They used to make me walk them to and from the Bedford Nostrand G train. When my landlord renovated my building in 2019, I moved to battery park city as rent was damn near equal for split and I wouldn't be running anyone out. Now I live in the capital and they are trying to raise rents to crazy high without the shops, bars, and services that come with gentrification.
It’s called capitalism….As a black home owner who worked 2 jobs most of my life I was able to buy a home and sell it for a big profit.. does that make me a bad person? Stop your complaining and do better…
The problem. Is greed bottom line just because somebody can come in and buy a $500000? Condo doesn't mean everybody around. Them needs to immediately raiseing prices, including stores, raising prices on products.
Late to the dance on this issue!Left Brooklyn early in the 2000's,and I saw this coming since then. No one cared when the original people were being strategically forced out. This did not happen out of the blue,and it is all BY DESIGN!!

I lived in NYC my entire life until I moved to NJ two years ago. I do pay quite a bit more monthly in rent but I have the same square footage and it's in a brand new building with all modern appliances, I see magnificent sunsets, I have all the necessary amenities and am near shopping and transit, and it's significantly quieter than NYC. However, more and more buildings are being constructed everywhere in my neighborhood and most of those apartments are smaller than mine but the rents are way higher, thus the rising cost of living out here. I actually wanted to move into one of the newer buildings but can't justify paying the increase. Like they say in the video, this isn't just gentrification, this is greed by building owners. And if you take a good look at where all the new buildings are going up whether in sections of the boroughs of NYC or in NJ, what else do you see near all these buildings? Storage facilities and it doesn't matter when it's Life Storage or Cube Smart, Safeguard Storage, they are independently owned and it's the owners of these buildings that own these storage facilities. They purposely make apartments nice BUT smaller, and people moving in don't want to get rid of all their stuff so they'll rent a storage locker, basically higher rent to live in the building PLUS a monthly storage fee for the stuff they can't fit in their apartment. So now you're paying $2,500 or way more a month for rent PLUS $100+ a month for storage.
Aside from the humble bragging you're doing, Why tf would you even consider moving when you're already living in new building with a nice view, lower priced rent, etc? Do you hop from apartment to apartment like the way people upgrade their phones every two years?
Where in NJ if you mind me asking please?
Definitely happening in FL as well...
Same here, my wife and I bought a house in Stratford, CT. Of course monthly payment is a bit higher, but we a 3 bed 2 bath for a great price, huge lot, the whole deal.

Brooklyn is very expensive for no reason because the sad part is it is still the same and it still looks the same after all these years.the only difference is they cleaned up dumbo and downtown area,and they also put the Barclays and more eateries downtown.but other then that,for them to go up that highly on the cost of living because of gentrification is ridiculous!the only difference is they have more police ONLY because of how gentrified it is now🤦🏽♀️

The orthodox Jewish community is the major driver of gentrification, housing inflation, and displacement in black and brown neighborhoods in nyc. It seems to me largely unnoticed because they are not flashy people. It's a flex for them that they completely dominated the housing market and have a firm grip on almost every neighborhood. But it's a big hardship on everyone else, including white people who also can't afford to stay in the neighbors they used to live some comfortably in. And if you try to buy a house or rent an apartment, you will see they control all aspects of the process, from being the listing agents, the brokers, to mortgage lender, the building developer, and even the lawyers involved. They will push prices as high as our elected officials will let them. And it's all fair game in capitalism, but something has to give.

Rachel is considering moving down South to South Carolina. Well, I am sorry Rachel, gentrification is happening in the South.

You cant sell your building to the highest bidder. Not good enough, the owner MUST give the building to the tenants and keep paying the property taxes. But first, renovate, ALL the units. New appliances are a must. Dont forget to come by and shovel the snow during winter.
Also the landlord must give every tenant a new Mercedes as well. This will definitely encourage more housing construction!
Gentrification is all over including Europe. If you shut your eyes 👀 while listening to the news 🗞️ the residents who are getting squeezed out sound just like the rest of us except for their accents.

this is news? I work in NY and it seems that everyone and their grandma wants to live in Brooklyn over even Manhattan because of the 'vibes". The fact that even the majority of celebrities who live in NYC choose Brooklyn as their home only makes it more viable for gentrification.

That's totally false, not true. Whatsoever. Brooklyn has never been super expensive, like it is now all the housing projects and all the low-income housing have always been affordable since the 70s.

@jasontomica8938 they interviewed people in Park slope and surrounding areas for this fluff piece. I paid $1, 200.00 for a one bedroom in Park slope, 24 years ago. My friend had a share up the block at the same time. She paid $1,000.00. In 1999 I lived in bed Stuy, I had a garden apartment - it was $900.00. In 2002 I had a studio in Crown Heights, it was $900.00. "Cheap" where? These prices weren't overinflated either, they were standard. The last cheap neighborhoods I know of were Bushwick and Brownsville. In the year 2000, I was seeing apartments around there for $600.00 . I have no idea what they cost now but they were the last two holdout areas. I'm sure those prices are long gone.

Truth be told the city shot itsself in the leg. There is alot of 4 to 6 multfamily rent stablize building for sale going cheap. But alot of small investors like myswlf are not willing to take the risk cause there is no profit and the current owners will end up selling to larger investors who has the money to demo the building and put up this large condos or luxury rental that only the high earners can afford .
there are pros and cons to gentrification. i inherited a house that my parents paid very little for when i was born and sold it for $700k+ after my mom passed unexpectedly. the area was once working class and now it is being built up. a lot of new yorkers complaining about gentrification did not purchase property when they could have…it was not always expensive to buy apartments or even a townhome in manhattan or the outlying boroughs 30 or so years ago. now the ship has sailed, so to me this is just bad financial planning, short-sightedness, and laziness. renting just puts money in the pockets of landlords at the end of the day and the sooner you can get off that train the better.
Exactly! Poor financial planning.
I agree. However, we also have to consider widespread discriminatory lending practices that prohibited many people from home ownership.
The housing crisis of 08 Obama bailed out Wall Street, now WS buying up all these properties and laughing!
I agree to an extent with your comment . However , the “ I inherited a property from my parents “ , is kind of out of touch with the average working civilian in Brooklyn. Unfortunately , many ppl who lived in Brooklyn back in the day came from poor families with little to no financial literacy. You were fortunate to have parents that looked out and it paid off for YOU. The only thing the residents can do is move to another state , and buy property some place else.
@@LisaHill-r5fthat part about just move to another state. That’s the issue moving to other states now drive up the cost of living for the natives of that state.

Red lining is a thing but it doesn’t barre you from owing a home. It can slow you down but not stop you. I have family in Brooklyn it’s bad financial planning.

The city is complicit in the high rent, there are so many statutes that prop up overvaluation even if a building hasn’t had tenants in years NYC real estate is a Ponzi scheme that too many people rely on … it will never be allowed to fail.

You apparently don't know the history. My family has one property in Brooklyn since the early 1800's. During the Great Migration, Black families came up from the south and those who could, purchased homes even though they were not given government backed mortgages to do it. Later families from the Caribbean came and did the same. Families who refinanced to improve their homes were put into mortgages with conditions that made them loose their homes. Other homes were taken by eminent domain or by fraud. The people who come here from across the globe CHOOSE to come here. They can always go back home. That's very different from being forced out of your life long home whether you own it or not.

Ppl have lived in these neighborhoods forever they don’t invest into it and never take action to protect themselves, when ppl come in and so just that. Its a problem
The people who lived in these neighbors did invest in them. They invested their money, blood, sweat and tears in community building. They are the ones who advocated and created block associations to make sure that essential services were delivered when the agencies funded by their tax dollars didn't do their jobs. They created neighborhood patrols, ambulance corps and served on school boards. Block associations banded together as neighborhood associations that later became economic development corporations. The Bed-Stuy Restoration Corp and Flatbush Development Corp are just two examples. The people that "came in" wouldn't have come, if it weren't for the work of the people who were already there.
The people that "came in" don't have the same sense of community nor do they have respect for what community meant before they "came in". Typical though.
Rent is too high they say. How many are on Section 8 and what are their portion?

They make these news reports but the community especially the Hispanics in the black donuts stick together when it comes to these issues, unfortunately and the crime is extremely high right now.
Weird how, on the one hand, prices on basics are rising astronomically and, on the other hand, more of an underclass is being created with not only Americans being priced out, but also large numbers of poor migrants being invited in.
