What is "Gentrification"?

[@coppermelanativesistar5418]

I noticed you paid your house off. It feels good, Right! How would you like it if a group of people came in and raised the prices even more to the point were you could no longer be able to stay there. Then they were able to move you out and they moved into your home and enjoyed what you once had. That would not be great would it? That is really what happened to the people that live in these areas. “These people” are so called black/african Americans.....true Natives/Aboriginal People to this land. Not from Africa as y’all say but originally born here. Gentrification is just a nice word with your nice definition to make people feel good for stealing other people’s land.

Exactly. Government controlled thieves!!

Gentrification is normally done in bad area that need a face-lift so if the people who do own thier houses they probably have graffiti or broken down cars or overgrown ans abandon houses basically black neighborhoods and they need to go blacks have a place it's either in prison or graves

the bad shit is the house prices which can be fixed by .........making more small aparments in america which is stricly limited

[@raqmelah8224]

Gentrification occurs when the government don't take care of the areas and make it impossible for the property owners to pay their taxes by inflating them. These areas purposely don't get assistance or renovations although the people living in those areas are constantly reaching out to the local government agencies. It's hard to find jobs because there are non. For those that own businesses as I stated They get no assistance forcing them to close or sell low. They slowly force the residents out again purposely because it's their plan to rebuild once they push the people out, then they rebuild making it impossible for the original owners of the surrounding areas to ever live there again. Once it's renovated they make sure they cater to only a certain class of people. Now they build businesses and create jobs for the new residents in the area. It's not a good thing it's all planned to push out the "poor" people. Why wait to build buisness when they can renovate and build with the same people that were there. I've seen it happen in Virginia and DC.(originally called chocolate city)

So what is the term used for a nice affluent area becoming a less desired area when a lot of crime and trashiness comes in and decreases the value of your home. It's insane to me that some of the undesired areas to live in have the prettiest houses, craftsman style homes but Noone wants to live there because it's now a slum. Just wondering what that term is. BTW before anyone claims I'm being racist I'm not. The areas that I know of are about a 50/50 ratio.

[@kahmaal14]

Ghettofication is the term, but don't use this around certain people unless you're not white or you'll be called a racist.

[@notme1728]

So basically majority where blacks and Latinos live at (hood areas) is what they are taking over I get it you want to get rid of ghetto ratchet people redo the area make it nice which is fine but when the rent goes up is where the problem is cause some elderly people and working families are being pushed out not everyone that lives in the hood or undesirable area is a drug dealer or ghetto

[@notme1728]

And I don’t think your racist I’m black and I hate these type of neighborhoods I used to live in the hood but always worked never been ghetto

[@entrepreneurcity3317]

I can see the pros and cons to it, so many people act like it's all bad. Always good to do your own research. I'm all about protecting the senior citizens and people who are in the community making it a great place to live. I feel like we need new improved low-income housing and welfare programs that are better suited for the times we are in right now, they have been a crutch for too many able-bodied US Citizens for far too long.

[@88sheldon88]

Thank you!

[@Retipster]

Sure thing!

[@lyndaek99]

It's not a negative thing. I have no problem with it. It's the cost of development. Maybe they could try to not raise property taxes till the house changes hands (sold or inherited).

The bad thing about it is the oeolle who struggled there for so long don't benefit from the new look and business.

[@feeshunter1508]

The biggest thing BP have failed at, was the chance of living a really lavish and wealthy lifestyle by simply taking care of the neighborhoods and homes they've inherited back in the old days from the rich white men who owned the homes before them (and now turned into a rotting craphole). At least in the city where I live, these old homes are near the downtown area, which was once owned by really wealthy rich white men/families. Had BP not tore up these neighborhoods and the homes within and kept the neighborhoods safe/crime free and the usual, these homes would've gone up astronomically in value (due to the old history within), causing nearly every single BP in this part of the city to be wealthy. As we all know, home values tend to appreciate over time, but not when BP move in, once BP are in a home, the value decreases (instead of appreciating). BP themselves are the ones to blame for their own failure in life.

[@SimplyTiffany2009]

thx

[@lilllwizzzle]

Oh no crime is suppressed and quality of living goes up, what a nightmare.

[@politesociety2645]

Crime is not suppressed, it's just displaced elsewhere along with perfectly law abiding people who can no longer afford to live in these areas.

[@raqmelah8224]

Crime still exist it's just not reported on the local news channels unless it's something extreme. People with so called money steal more than the so called "poor" people and I know that for a fact. There are good and bad folks our here no matter what area code or district you live in. Never forget that

[@lilllwizzzle]

@@politesociety2645 displaced elsewhere because the people that are committing the crimes move elsewhere. Unfortunately safer living often comes with a higher cost of living.

[@ulyssesdecastro2261]

One example, Americans Are Moving to Mexico. Americans are capitalizing on the lower rents available, the cheaper standard of living, and the ability to stay in Mexico for six months without a visa. Locals are complaining that the areas where the Americans have settled have been gentrified, and traditional Mexican businesses have been turned into different ones that cater to Americans. The influx of Americans has contributed to an increase in rent and a change to English-speaking in some areas.

[@lilllwizzzle]

@@ulyssesdecastro2261 ok and Mexicans moving to America has caused quite a few more areas to be primarily Spanish speaking. I don't see your point in that regard.

[@joejohnson2478]

Who transformed once good neighborhoods into the crime-ridden areas that they are now. Who transplanted those people, causing them to move out. They complained about that group that maintained the area moving out and now complain about them moving back. Fact is that they just complain. The Fair Housing Act is supposed to allow anybody to move anywhere, providing, of course, paying their property taxes and mortgage. But again, we have to make excuses. As far as business building businesses in these areas is false. They are actually closing many businesses due to the high theft of merchandise and crime. We are talking big box stores here like Walmart, so don't believe that propaganda. We need to go our separate ways.

[@judyberd]

To no surprise, statistically, the greatest percentage of theft from stores like Wal-Mart, are the employees.

[@staringcorgi6475]
