In Jersey City, Gentrification Accelerates, Changing Neighborhoods and Lives

[@absi1155]

New York City people moving here think that rent here is cheap. It is gentrification. $3000 for studio.

[@jeffghant4760]

The same thing is slowly happening to Newark, NJ.

[@MannyExploresVlog]

jeff ghant true that, Newark is next

[@kllafedforthebread9681]

Damn!!!!!

[@flex_nyc9885]

I’m a PR male and I embrace gentrification. The only color I care about is green. I would love to live in a neighborhood with other like minded people who work hard and who are wealthy. I got tired on waiting for my people to wake up and start taking pride in our neighborhood and actually start caring about the kids and the community

[@miriambucholtz9315]

Okay, but not everyone who is willing to work hard ends up wealthy, at least by the popular definition of the word. I take a lot of pride in my surroundings, even if it is just a small rental apartment. I live on Social Security and don't have a lot, but I'm satisfied with it. All I need is a place where I can feel safe and live my life in peace.

[@j0rdelin]

meh, you can do better.

[@r.pres.4121]

Much easier said than done especially in the age of horrendously failed supply side/trickle down economics.

[@kllafedforthebread9681]

Damn son!!!!!

[@Walkableliving]

Love Jersey City. Every part of it, not just downtown. Interesting video. Thank you for uploading.

[@raymondt.1880]

YEH THAT'S WHY I MOVED OUT OF JERSEY CITY. THEY PUSHED OUT SOME OF THE OLDER FOLK'S TO MOVE IN NEW YORK CITY PEOPLE AND RAOSE RENTS CALLING THEM CONDO'S WHEN THEY ARE JUST FIXED UP APARTMENTS.

[@archipelagomoor7619]

Correction my friend alot of those "New Yorkers" are really RICH folks from Colorado, PA, Ca etc. who lived in NY for a year or two. Theyre FAKE NEW YORKERS and alot of the are outright RUDE!!!

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

Raymond Tolomei Joooooosssss!!!

[@soharitutru6161]

Just because you have money and access to it, i.e. bank loans, don't mean you can just move in and force long-term residents out. This is beyond disgusting and they are completely oblivious to what they've done😣

[@EhtEnoVI]

All of downtown Jersey city is being sold and only to those who have supported fulop. Gentrification is negative especially in Jersey City, long time residents can't move anywhere but out of Jersey City or areas that have been neglected by the current administration. All the families are displaced. 35 years in Jersey City and I have never felt so left out of my own city. If you want to know how fulop feels about Jersey City just consider his comments on those who have been victims of crime in Jersey City.

[@amab1853]

Jersey City’s gentrification has happened so rapidly!! It now looks so similar to NYC. Alot of the people moving to North Jersey are now transplants and didn't even grow up in the tri-state area. I grew up in Jersey and the gentrification in Jersey City is impacting all of North Jersey. It's driven up the housing costs alot

[@Timbrock1000]

Gentrification ROCKS!! It creates new jobs, attracts new residents, new construction, new businesses. It drives up property values (GREAT news for property owners!) And drives down the crime rate.

[@MegaRockNMetal]

Timbrock1000 I disagree

[@GeorgieKiely]

It rocks mostly for white people. It's just present time colonization.

[@shotta849]

JustAGentleman good you whites don't belong here in the first place

[@fmartin59]

JustAGentleman Hey I saw you on the techlead video. JC is great now. Edison is majority white.

[@minnowpd]

After decades of slumification its nice to see revival..

[@richardbenitez7803]

This reminds me of the moms who was flipping houses in Santa Ana CA, one of the worst crime infested cities of its size at the time. She would bitch about all the mexicans flooding the city and Orange County, not giving them credit for creating a need for housing which increased the value of the houses she was flipping.

[@newyorkforever3118]

Jersey city is a cool city, it’s a lot like Brooklyn. Diverse, some rich areas and some poor neighborhoods, but it gets a bad reputation because it’s in New Jersey

[@kody0]

I work in some of the places on the river and they go for $500,000 minimum crazyyyyy.

[@conservativethought1460]

It's not gentrification its regentrification !

[@Timbrock1000]

HOUSING IS NOT AN ENTITLEMENT. It's a product made available via leasing or purchase. It's only worth what the local market will bear. If you rent, your monthly payment is subject to change in accordance with the market, dictated by supply & demand. I can understand someone being upset about noongdr being able to stay in a given dwelling because of escalating rent, but that's life. Just because you're getting a bargain on housing today doesn't entitle you to that bargain price indefinitely. Unless of course you buy instead of rent. With buying through a (fixed-rate) mortgage, your monthly payment is guaranteed to stay the same.

[@cmore138]

David Sanchez Dude’s comment was pretty much the opposite of communist.

[@nathanielcarreon5634]

Growing up in a certain neighborhood does not mean anything unless you own it. No if and but

[@kllafedforthebread9681]

We dont own anything in this country when we did. They attacked us with the air force and police force and the klan. All at once

[@ah7830]

The workers who provide services for the luxurious lifestyle can’t afford to live in the same area.

[@yahshaunyahu]

Blacks and ricans cant be mad at gentrification. You had 60 yrs since the civil rights movement to get it right before the caucasians colonized it

[@kllafedforthebread9681]

Facts. But now jersey bout to be gay asl. Facts

[@johnwilliams7931]

[@ShotByNJGoons]

[@chalachitturi1987]

Jersey city aquarium I want to learn about that well you forgot the uptown

[@jerz20126]

These white people coming to jersey city are nothing but the great or great grand kids of the people that lived in jersey city in the 30s,40s and 50s. The FHA founded in the 30s gaved these poor and middle class white people cheap morgage loans to move to the suburbs aka WHITE FLIGHT and blacks and other minorities where discriminated against and denied loans, also happened with the G.I bill signed by president roosevelt in the 40s that gaved the white soldiers handouts after ww2 with mortgages, student loans and etc and again the blacks and hispanics that where also in ww2 came home to discrimimation and the G.I bill wasnt working with them. Thats the truth and redlining was a tactic in the 60s and 70s by bankers to check the maps only to sell houses to whites and deny blacks, hispanics and other minorities. If you trace back these problems that occurred in the past you can see the outcome of many people today that are old and struggling still in jersey city because of a racist and unfair bias government that gaved benefits to a certain kind of people and excluding the others yea... the land of opportunities just ask the old people that are still alive that struggled in jersey city because of the BS they went through peace im out of here knowledge is power.

[@jacobtennyson9213]

It's N.Y.C. private developers coming into Jersey City cashing in on more prime real estate and gentrify it to their like. Also add in the fast growing Hasidic Jews and make it more 'Kiryas Joel' feel.

[@Russnyc4451]

[@eachoneteachone8320]

[@j.kevinmoran9678]

The best thing that ever happened to JC after Hague was Gerry McCann. e exposed the world to JC's potential. No one has done more since although they are all taking credit.

[@jjones7396]

I wish Jersey City would change its name to New Jersey City.

[@yurigiron6802]

May I ask why?

Samuel Jackson at 04:25.

[@TheLionessjudah]

Just another Sanctuary City. Expensive to live, raising the taxes on people. Most of these people came into Jersey City and most of the older folk moved out

[@kllafedforthebread9681]

If they complete this crap. Jersey will be gay asl
