- Gentrification is happening in many cities across the United States. It’s a process that focuses on renovating lower-income urban neighborhoods which simultaneously changes the culture of the area. Ultimately, property value and rent increases, wealthier people move in and local residents become displaced.
In St. Petersburg Florida, history has proven that gentrification is a systemic issue that does very little to include and consider the predominantly African American residents of the south side. St. Pete & The Burg: A City Divided tells the history of St. Petersburg which puts into perspective the gentrification issues that began in the 80’s and 90’s with the demolition of the Gas Plant neighborhood and the Jordan Park village. Not only are those areas facing the same issues today, but illegal acts of robo-signing to foreclose on mortgages without people’s consent is also contributing to gentrification. In St. Petersburg, community members are mobilizing and fighting the system on different fronts.
This is an ongoing project. Part two will go in depth to explain the affordable housing issue as it pertains to the area.
Thank you for making this!
“We didn’t experience police brutality when we were policed by our own people.” This is an excellent point. Everybody should be policed by their own people.
Segregation... Great idea.
@@bluffem yes we need segregation.
Excellent documentary.
Thank you very much! 😊
That elegant, eloquent lady is great at making facts interesting.
Love my City! Great Place. Great Video.
I'm so shocked that nobody speaks on this. You can't erase history.
Love St pete!
Super cool doc. Really excited to see how the issue will progress.
Excited ???🤔
Let's all bow our heads to the past and leave it at that, a lesson to learn from as we work to make a more perfect union.
Um this has been going on for about 30yrs....
I’m not understanding why the foreclosure would be on your record if it wasn’t your home. Can someone please explain?
Very interesting about Tropicana field.
But these areas are terrible.
I’m not understanding why we aren’t trying to get the community to straighten up and to build itself up.
No one in their right mind, who has a love for life, wants to live in an area where crime is high.
And in all honesty, why should subsidized housing be mixed in with high-end? You guys know good and well that it attracts all kinds of craziness
''They'' created the crime. And a community that has been purposely disenfranchised and deprived of economic resources, won't just ''build itself up''. It need's to be repaired, reinvested and provided with the same opportunities, as other areas of the city. WITHOUT pushing out the native born people of that area.
We are not going to be pushed out. Stop playing the victim. Let Us lead the fight. With God all things are possible. If you are saying anything else, please shut up!
You sound like a fool....it is happening and been happening. I pray everyday, but it's still happening. This is obviously a troll account, raising awareness isn't ''playing the victim''. Stupid fool. Jewish people have a holocaust museum on every corner, in every city, but when Black Americans talk about all the fucked up shit we have experienced throughout history, you wanna say we are ''playing the victim''. Go fuck yourself.
@@IllUMINATED33 Get money stay real. Real what? My words are backed with my actions. You call me a fool? Let's compare actions to words spoken and let others decide who sounds like a weak fool.
Let's take it to the stage!
Kriseman is ruining St Pete
Patrick - Briefly explain how. I am truly interested to know
It’s Saint Petersburg. Not the Burg. Insulting.
This woman blabbing on and on about being economically displaced is wearing more jewelry on one arm than I've owned in my entire life. If your priorities were in maintaining your home and community instead of your jewelry collection this could all be avoided.
🤔
I'm pretty sure maintaining a home has nothing to do with gentrification. Smdh. It's pushing the poor out to bring in the wealthy.
EVERYTHING IS BLACK BLACK BLACK AND BEFORE ANY BLACKS WERE THERE WAS 13 WHITE FAMILY'S AND SOME INDIANS I DONT HERE ANYONE SAY YOU KNOW THEM POOR WHITES THAT BUILT THIS CITY ARE SO NICE WE SHOULD THANK THEM FOR THE CHANCE TO EVEN COME LATE AND PUT THERE TWO CENTS IN NOW
BLACK PEOPLE DID NOT BUILD ST PETE THEY CAME LATER AS MANY OTHER DID AND THERE WAS NO CITY FOR NO ONE TO COME TO PEOPLE HAD TO BUILD HOMES AND ROADS AND THEY WERE NOT BLACK
Thank you!
Yep. More social indoctrination. The blacks just want to sit on their asses and work min wage jobs and expect to have it all. Then they get upset when they cant afford the economy the working people create, which should benefit them, but they are so lazy they don't even keep their homes/neighborhoods nice. Then they blame whites ha!!!
Bullshit

@@rmarie3261 That person's name is ''martinez''. These immigrants who come here do not share our plight. There's no ''black and brown coalition'' there's no ''people of color''. These economic immigrants are only here to displace native Black Americans, we should be weary of people like that '' sandra martinez'' idiot, who is spreading lies and misinformation.
Whits people was never the original people of that land Sandra always was it black folks
