Priced Out | Portland’s History of Segregation and Redlining - Full Documentary

[@maxshaw1330]

Portland resident here, since 1995. That closing bit saying Oregon has statewide rent control in place is total, and utter BS. I'm paying $1600 / month for a place that would have cost less than $1k just five years ago. The greed and disregard for people's ability to live (rather than survive, or go homeless) is more disturbing and sad than can be imagined...

Far too many are not working hard enough, earning enough, paying their bills, paying their taxes, taking care of their homes, saving up their money so that they can buy a home, obeying the law, not voting for Democrats, contributing to society in a positive way, or raising their children to do the same.

My grand father moved to Portland from the south for the shipyard work in the early 50's. I was born and raised in Portland Oregon, so was my husband and children. I was bused out of the Irvington Neighborhood in NE Portland to Laurelhurst Elementary school. I went to college at PSU in Portland and Lewis and Clark Law School. In 2004 we could see the city going to hell with racism and the feeling of you don't belong here and I was a native. We got the hell out. Now we live in the south and while I'm not in love with it, amazingly enough, I know this is actually a much better place for me and my family.

Brilliant film. I can relate to every resident in the film as my community of North Park in San Diego became gentrified. It was once one of the more affordable communities in San Diego, full of diversity, but as the city aimed to "revitalize" North Park, that plan was really gentrification masquerading as revitalization. Many minorities and many of my neighbors were priced out as a new more affluent demographic moved in. We had issues of crime, but our hope was for increased police presence to make the community safe. Instead the city, developers, and unwitting new residents that flocked in pushed out minorities and people of lower socioeconomic backgrounds to make the community "safe". For me, gentrification is really the new form of colonialism taking place as people are being pushed out further and further from their homes just as the Native Americans were by the settlers out to the reservations.

Great documentary and sad. I was born and raised in NE Portland. It was not the unsafe, war torn area it was portrayed to be. It was a cultural community with black businesses, churches and tons of life. I lived on 22nd & Alberta until housing kicked us out because my brother graduated from college and we were no longer qualified to live there. A lesbian white couple had moved in across the street and the changes in the neighborhood were already being seen. It doesn't feel like home anymore and the current housing and homelessness crisis, on top of the violence suggests to me that Portland made a huge mistake by ripping out affordable housing and the black community to become a hipster paradise.

Interesting and really well-presented film. I related a bit to this documentary because I’m from NJ/NYC and when I moved back out to Oregon (specifically Portland) in 2016 I expected to be living in this really diverse city-Keep Portland Weird was the popular slogan- but the first thing I said to myself was, “Where are all the black people??” I lived very close to the area they focus on in this film (right off Rosa Parks and MLK) and whenever I told people where I lived they said, “Oh, that used to be the ghetto” but living across the river from NYC my whole life all I saw in 2016 was mostly gentrification. Now I know the reason why this area of NE Portland looked the way it did; it’s evolved over time but sadly, the “original” inhabitants haven’t seemed to fit into that same evolution. It’s sad to see because I really enjoyed living in NE Portland; it felt more like home because it was the most diverse area of the city and it sucks to see how “cookie cutter” it has become. Even more so than when this doc. was filmed in 2015ish. Personally, I love living in Oregon but that is my one major complaint about this state: the lack of true diversity / culture. Being surrounded by white people (I’m white too) is boring as hell!!

When they returned the video to my family the portions of the video had been altered so people wouldn't see how many people really died. Gentrification sucks and the PDC has so much to do with it.

So basically how long does it take for someone to get their live in order. Do you people need another 500 years or maybe a 1000 more is that enough time to get your 💩 together... should we give the future generations a heads up that they can kick back and have another 500 years of victim hood mentality routine to continue the nonsense that nobody is falling for or buying your 🐂💩 of why black people are at the bottom. When its obvious they refuse to use the rope everyone else has to use to lift ourselves with that is lowered down for them to pull themselves out of the hole they have dug for themselves instead believe they are owed life the easy way with them handed a ladder to climb out of the mess they live because pulling themselves up by the rope is to much work. Always want the most with the least amount of effort to get it.... It's become comical the excuses black people will say why they have it worse than others. That's why nobody respects or cares to deal with black people its always the same old excuses its someone else's fault but mine. Black people have made a mockery out of racism and a joke to others who have to deal with people who walk around with the daily chip on their shoulders attitudes...

Now come my 30's and houses that sold for 50k 10 years ago are worth 500k today. It's impossible for someone like me to own a home in this state, and rent is out of control everywhere.

Yea it's not just a black issue plenty of poor whites are affected too, altho blacks are disproportionately affected, but it's more like the bottom 50% versus the top 50%.

Attributing the responsibility of white individuals for investing more in their schools is not entirely fair. The issue lies in the funding mechanism, specifically property taxes, which can be deemed unconstitutional. This system charges residents more based on the condition of their homes, even if they fully own them, with the funds directed towards schools and libraries. The frustration arises when instances of city, school, or government building damage occur, as it seems to enforce an additional financial burden on white individuals who are compelled to contribute, and failure to do so may result in potential repercussions, such as eviction from their homes.

If they inherited a house they sold it immediately and left. My buddy inherited his grandparents house in the 90s. Couldn't find a single buyer. You know why ?

Oh, it’s there. But you have to watch the feature length version. This is just one scene from the movie. Full length versions of Priced Out are on our channel. Remember, because of redlining, homeownership rates were very low in black communities compared to white communities. Homeownership rates in white communities can average around 60% or as high as 70% compared with historical black communities coming in at 20-30%. And that’s really an issue of discriminatory regulations that were put in place starting with the FHA in the 1930s. It’s all public record. It’s not so much a matter of saying white communities are bad for having high homeownership. It’s more a matter of saying how can we promote homeownership on other communities, especially considering that these communities are now at a comparative disadvantage because of past policies that everyone agrees were unfair and anticompetitive

[@oldmanemptyhouse7659]

@CorneliusSwart Dude we are talking North and North East Portland though. I grew up here on the corner of Columbia and Banks street in Saint John's. I now live right down the road on the other side of MLK. The majority of blk people that lived in homes owned them. They were dirt cheap and a lot of times you couldn't give them away. Every single blk person I know and I grew up in a majority blk neighborhood first thing they did when they got a little money is move. Every single one of them. Got a good city job ? They moved Finally finished your degree ? They Moved Expecting your first child ? They moved Inherited your completely paid off grandmas house ? Try to sell it and move. These are the real life stories of my childhood friends. How big did the population of black people grow in Washington, Columbia and Clackamas during this so called gentrification ? I watched my friends flee and 30 years later they still never moved back. And guess what ? They all moved to majority yt neighborhoods. Why is that ? You couldn't give away a house on Alberta in the 80s early 90s Why is that ? And then when yt people moved into the neighborhood the home prices skyrocketed to much higher than the national average. Why is that ? No one wants to ask the honest questions. Instead we sit back and watch blk people suffer. Why is that ?

@@oldmanemptyhouse7659 Start at minute 11:57. I think you will see what you just described. But just because you knew black homeowners did not mean you knew everyone. It is just not true that the majority of residents in Albina owned their homes. The homeownership rate data for Albina is public record. Also, look at minute mark 29:00-30:00; here, residents talk about crime in the 80s and how you would get out of the neighborhood if you could get a few thousand dollars for your house. I agree that many people had those choices: to sell or hold. Many did sell or fled as the neighborhood declined and opportunities opened up for them. But the majority of neighbors were renters. And it really wasn't until the 1990s that the redlining got addressed, so loans were hard to come by.

If you don't leave then they send in code enforcement to give you fines and if that doesn't work they raise taxes

So is it a negative to leave something for your kids, in order to help assure their success?

[@richardellis8076]

@@christopherswartz4116 no and stop being obtuse. It's wrong to ignore the privilege you have while at the same time ignoring the fact that people who look like you were afforded that privilege while they intentionally prevented blacks from the same opportunity.

whats the opposite of gentrification? I dont understand, if an area has a specific culture you, with a different culture, cant move in and add ur culture? So I need to assimilate? A culture will change over time, what they are talking about is nostalgia

Things are happening in reverse but it's an individual responsibility to make sure you're on the best side of the worst outcome. It's the government's responsibility to make sure I can afford a house or an apartment.

[@jirensentry7609]

Yeah that's the problem! You guys can't choose to remain on Section 8. You gotta fight for stronger, stronger personal financial growth.

[@anytimeelgin8645]

How is allowing Trader Joes to build on an UNDEVELOPED LOT and bring jobs directly into the neighborhood gentrification??? These folks want more government funding & quick promises instead of actual long term improvement.

[@SJ-ku7hk]

Gentrification is when people get priced out of the neighborhood and the jobs actually don't go to the people who live there. I think you missed a few things in the documentary.

[@fingerinmynose4826]

They're not the one who gets hired most of the time

[@Tubefish07]

When you’ve had many years to change your situation and you choose to stay comfortable, not save, educate yourself, learn a marketable skill, improve your situation. Things may change around you. In other words. If you don’t change, things may change. I’ve said it many times. The best way to stop redlining, is to stop buying “red bottoms”!

[@thecalmwayhome8483]

If you're a black homeowner, gentrification is quite beneficial.

[@infantebenji]

It's beneficial on an individual level but overall for the community it's bad because most black people will be forced to leave

No it's not, don't speak for Black people..

So forget all black people...funny..That's ehy this race is failing no unity

[@wanerouge2318]

She said immigrants and n.... gs We got so many reasons why where in these situations so much self-hate and lack of knowledge of self. Just lack of good values and was given something else and we bit the bait but we was warned we just didn't listen. Single household rain by woman raising up boys when they should be with their fathers and men and women should be together. Martin Luther King had family Malcolm x had a family we just done everything backwards and willingly. None of this is normal and that's why we're in these situations. If we just give him the stuff back and get our values together just the working Man and working woman like any other ethnic group and just be kind to one another we can make it. I wish that sister well and I hope she get husband man.

[@BlackTownie999]

it is still happening, though these days it based on monetary class segregation...Just so happens that the poorest among us happen to be minority's as well....If you got money your welcome, if your strugglin financially, your not.

[@j.rebekah8605]

Why is this always about race? I've lived in or near Portland my entire life and had to move because of rising costs. I'm not black. I know black people who can still afford to live to there. It's a class issue, not race. Ridiculous. Never the real aggressor is blamed. I miss old Portland where the races mixed and none of us were really that rich. Art abounded and not everything was for sale. Sorry I can't feel bad for a woman who's had a house built for her while I've had to move into a tiny bedroom in my parents house. Even with a good job! She's got a great place and it's tough times?!?! What?!??? You're excluding the suffering of non black people while you focus on someone with a gorgeous house. You really need to take a look at this logically. I wanted to watch this, maybe re edit it so it's inclusive of all races. Looks like good history except the white guilt you want to impose. Tell everyone's story!

[@CorneliusSwart]

Thanks so much for watching the film. We appreciate it. I would clarify, because it's an important issue that a lot of people bring up. It is about race insomuch as housing policies and banking policies were based on race. Wealth is inherited, and so is poverty. While the laws changed, the chain of inherited poverty has not changed much. So, this is why there is a racial disparity between those who can afford to stay in NE Portland and those who cannot. Also, the black people we spoke with felt dismissed by the new white residents. Different black people had different ways of responding to racism, but ALL black people we spoke with reported experiencing racism. That's just how they feel that's their experience and to say that's not important or not real is to dismiss it/them. All that said, I agree, I also long for simpler times in the neighborhood. They were good for me. But I can only speak for myself.

I am white, I was priced out of Portland too. Why do you have to be black?? I grew up in a nice suburb called Lakewood Colorado, its since been completely torn down and rebuilt as condo burbs. Things were better but that does not give government or anyone the right to destroy the rights of property. ownership.
