HB's not as bad as it was when Gotti lived there and the years that followed, but yeah, still not ideal for minorities. The one thing I love about that place, people will be like oh yeah I hate blacks, then jump in their ****** old suped up Sentra or Civic and blast Uncle Murda while rocking Jays and Sean John. Lotta entitled morons that live there, thankfully hte friends I have there are transplants or the closest thing to normal.I didn't mean it as an ideal place to live. I'll take your word for it that it sucks. Was just trying to throw an example of how the hipster/gentrification thing looks to someone like me.
As far as the displaced go, there's no census data to prove it, but they are moving down South and into poverty stricken neighborhoods like Brownsville and ENY.
Bruh....I always wondered why all these rappers and young hip blacks don't just move Detroit and create their own little world out there. Everything's gotta be dirt cheap, plenty of hood culture, lots of drugs, lots of partying, and it'll be mad easy to buy up a bunch of land and start businesses.
You turn it around by creating opportunity. Build businesses, give people jobs, let them spend money, have hipsters enter.How much money is there to be made in Detroit? Detroit (even though it's a city) is the U.S. equivalent to a 3rd word country. There's a reason why people aren't looking to move there.

Economics that easy huh bruh? BTW, you do know gentrification messes up a cities culture and forces people who are already poor out of their homes.You turn it around by creating opportunity. Build businesses, give people jobs, let them spend money, have hipsters enter.
While I was in NYC there were a few hipsters who asked me about Detroit, on some "I heard it's picking up and I would like to visit.. Is it really as rough as they say"
The thing about gentrification in Detroit is that hipsters for the most part wouldn't be uprooting anyone.. I mean there are whole blocks and neighborhoods abandoned, and most blacks don't have the money to make improvements to what's still standing. Detroit can't get any worse, point blank. The only way to go is up, get on before it's too late.
Btw, where do the poor people go after they get kicked out by hipsters?
At what cost? We're being pushed out of the same neighborhoods that we were forced to live in. Unlike these yuppies who can go into any neighborhood as they please, someone of color can't go to Bensonhurst, Howard Beach or a Bay Ridge.
I think this thread needs some Nomad...

Although that is somewhat true...it's getting better now. I've lived in Bensonhurst/****r for my whole life and it's true that there's not much black people. I'm right on 13th avenue and I'm pretty sure the avenue was filled with the Italian mafia back in the day which probably explains why.
I've been starting to see black families..so bensonhurst is definitely getting diverse...hell, even the asian population is quite big there.
i work on 13th. what you know about the black impala brah
