Am I a gentrifier? Gentrification, explained

I am sorry, why wouldn't a neighborhood want new sidewalks, new trees planted, new businesses and new parks? Back in my day we called it revitalization….

Gentrification is happening because we don't build enough rich people housing. We keep building rich people and they can't all fit in Beverly Hills. We need to expand wealthy areas proportional to economic growth. $2m should buy you into a nice neighborhood anywhere in America but that's just not true anymore.

Why are white folks not scared to move to the middle of the hood, fix up the house put their $300 strollers on the front porch underneath their college flags but black folks, many of which make as much money, are scared to death to do the same?

This lady is the worst.

I like the fact that he brought an expert to talk with him on the subject. I wonder what the ethnicity is his wife? He seems to be raised in a more European setting.

I had a conversation with an American plumber, and I told him that our neighborhood is getting really nice, but he told me, that he was born in my neighborhood and that he didn't like what was happening.
I didn't understand it, but no one used that word back then. "Gentrification"
I'm talking about the period 2003-2005.
Forest Hills, NY 11375
Аt that time, many Jews from the USSR they built expensive houses.
Gentrification is the money of the Jews being thrown out of your hometown.

Whether you are or you're not, it makes no difference. People have a right to buy or rent any home or apartment they can afford, anywhere.

I think a big part of gentrification that people overlook is the LOCATION is central, within 2-5 miles of everything, good public transit(in some cities, not Nashville), walkable to bars, cafe, grocery, etc. People are SICK of the suburban lie where you spend 1-2 hours of your day in the car commuting or have to get in the car to go anywhere. I know in some of the first tier suburbs in Nashville with crap schools like Madison and Antioch, all the poor people moved in cause they were displaced by the higher rents in their old neighborhoods like North Nashville, the Nations, Cleveland Park, East Nashville, Wedgewood/Houston, etc.

3:11 typical rascist woman

Question, I want to know if there’s anything I can do as a voter or civilian to make the government do solutions to this problem? Also, can a black person please try to explain to me why it’s seemingly a bad thing when people put up signs that say they accept everyone? Genuinely not trying to trap people into a racist “gotcha” moment or trying to start a fight or ask in bad faith, im trying to educate myself and surround myself with diverse views

I want to internalize Dr. Frazier's message here but she makes it quite difficult. Maybe its just the conciseness or lack of content for a quick video but a lot of her claims are unsubstantial. Firstly, labeling cities that plant trees and revitalze public areas for higher desirability as the pitchfork gentrifier is absurd. Seeing public upgrades as a sign of desire for displacement feels overly simplistic. Without the effort put forward by city officials on what they can control, the town's environment will be in a stagnant place of neglect. As a counterpoint, she then argues that the city can improve livelihood in ways that prevent displacement of locals. Her proof for this was to point towards Winston-Salem's home rehab funding alongside "a whole damn list" that she doesn't expand on. The issue with this single tidbit is that the rehabilitation increases property value which will inherently drive gentrification. Pointing to housing rehab isnt proof of success unless theres evidence of retention and that locals arent being priced out

Muito bom 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

but you're black

Gentrification arguments are just facist bigotry get them outsiders outta my community

You are not somebody who is choosing to abandon the people around who classify development as gentrification.

You are starting refuse all forms of envy and of loserthink present in people who even believe in gentrification.

Keep in mind the word has no agreed upon definition. The word has no meaning and was invented by people who have been at the constant mercy of money and bills their entire lives.

Yes, you are.

Americans build a great place. Blacks ruin it. Americans clean it up. Degenerate commies move into the cheap area. When it finally gets rebuilt theres only cries of racism and victimhood. It will be American again. No more aids.

I love how if you report crime you're a "gentrifier". Imagine the audacity to say to someone:

"If you want to move here you have to accept that the people in this community will steal from you and commit violence against you, but if you report it, you're a racist."

I don’t think it’s racist, it’s just people with higher incomes regardless of race take advantage of the lower prices of homes. Race has nothing to do with it.

Stop taking the time money and effort to fix everything for those who don't do a damn thing .

Gentrification: When the city doesn't care whether you live or die but you blame your neighbors.
