The neighborhoods of Tremont, University Heights, Highbridge, Morrisania, Soundview, Hunts Point, Longwood and Castle Hill are sometimes considered part of the South Bronx.
The South Bronx is part of New York's 16th Congressional District, the poorest Congressional district in the United States.

This
Majority of businesses in the Heightz
3-4 barbershops per block
2-3 bodegas per block
2-3 restaurants per block
Random sneaker store
Random chill spot
Half of those got funny money going thru it
Ain't nothing too crazy
The reason it does so well is also the overpopulation of the area. You got 5/6 people in a 2 bedroom that never leave the area
Lets not pretend it's some economic plan that should be spread everywhere
da bronx was BAAAAD in da 70's 80's all da way up to da mid 90's
you act like thats da only way its been happening

landords burning everything up to get insurance money.....crack, crime, etc.
White Plains is outside of the Bronx ...they call it a Bronx suburb. There's some REALLY nice houses in Riverdale, usually when people can't afford it they get suggested "White Plains" as a Bronx suburb.
you act like you're PERSONALLY doing da ATF drug bust yourself...eff outta here with that, you dunno squat about why my hood is pumping now.you act like thats da only way its been happening
da funny thing about gentrifyers is they are QUICK to kick dirt on heighborhoods they're DYING to live in...
if my hood or brooklyn is so "ghetto and bad" why these hipsters DYING to move in and pay 4x da rent? why dont they stay in their big houses in da suburbs? oh i know why...
cuz da burbs is da most overrated living situation ever planned.That's cool and dandy.
But as always with every discussion you brought up the heightz into it.
So that's what we're talking about now, not the burbs.
Alot of those buisnesses you have were founded off drug money and still are today.
Not saying all, but a chunk are.
And the community also strives off the small mindedness of never leaving the heights and that being all they know.
So yes it's better that the money gets repumped back into the area, but lets not act like it's all off the hard workers back.
It's drug moneyz.
That's not some sound economic plan to revitalize a area.
*waits for some obscure article from google or a rap song from the 90s*
I've never heard of it referred as that.
I've waked thru your hood, scene stuff get dropped off back and forth thru NJ over the GWB.
Either by car or even on the lil buses.
Not to mention your bodegas with 3 empty fridges and 1 gallon of milk.
But nah, your right
propaganda.act ignorant when it's to your satisfaction.
