There is nothing fun, exciting or interesting about the gentrification of once steady communities. In fact gentrification does more to destabilize communities than stabilize them. That is because it brings together opposing groups of people that do not like each other, understand each other or respect each other. They will always remain estranged from each other, if not hostile and antagonizing to each other. The only way forward is to replace the poor people in the gentrified communities who do not own anything and have no say in what happens in those communities. Most of them are just renters or squatters with low education anyway. Let them have the most boring parts of New Jersey to live in. With gentrifiers come in new business developments and educational opportunities anyway. Plus they provide cleaner, safer communities. New York City became so quickly gentrified and uber-expensive that gentrifiers were forced to move to parts of Brooklyn to find decent homes. It became prime real estate on the market. Brooklyn will quickly follow suit. Then New Jersey. This notion that Manhattan is much older and more historical than Brooklyn is foolishness. Brooklyn has always been the more famous and noteworthy city, with its extensive network of public parks, open spaces and culturally significant institutions. Leave Manhattan to its bossy, noisy and bratty ways, teen-aged mentality, clownish skyscrapers and growing collection of rats, roaches, hustlers and scammers. Brooklyn is the truest of American cities, with over 1/4 of its citizens having their origins there. 🏘🏠🏡

How to prevent Gentrification is by buying property in a low market. Than turning it into a community cooperative where the tenant (members) own a share of the assets.

The thing that makes gentrification bad gets left out of this video. These are neighborhoods that under class and minority populations were effectively confined to via redlining during suburbanization and white flight. With no way of garnering capital to improve their neighborhoods, let alone garner capital to improve their own lives, these neighborhoods struggled and no one outside wanted to help because of the high crime rates that comes with impoverished conditions, lack of potential to profit, and the general attitudes towards these people. Now that young, white neo liberals are moving back into the city because of the job opportunities and desire to be “cultured,” commercial spaces are being bought out to be converted into boutique coffee shops, art galleries, and co-working spaces, commissioning outside artists to paint colorful murals that depict the cultural and ethnic diversity that they want to market to the neo libs. Then the rents get jacked up to remove lower income people. This is also happening in inner city neighborhoods all around downtown LA as well.

This is a simplistic and foolish assessment. Richard Rothstein in his book The Color of Law discusses how residential segregation was government policy. Rather, he argues, government policy at the time was to designate racial boundaries so that blacks and whites would not live near each other. These policies were so profound that they still determine the racial landscape today. In the 1950s, federal government again reinforced racial segregation via the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) which was designed to move white families out of the urban centres into the suburbs. This was the epoch of the stereotypical 1950s housing idyll, yet it had an explicit racial basis. In the 1950s, federal government again reinforced racial segregation via the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), established in 1934, by not insure mortgages in areas near to African-Americans, ‘foreign-born’ people and poor whites. This policy was known as ‘Redlining’, and contributed to white families moving out of the urban centres into the suburbs. Then came the epoch of the stereotypical 1950s housing idyll, yet it had an explicit racial basis. Thousands of homes would be built in suburbs and even though the US was not a suburban country at the time and the very idea at the time was seen as a waste, yet developers gained support from the FHA after submitting their plans, architectural designs and street plans for such suburban subdivisions - yet with the express proviso that such accommodation would not be sold to an African-American as required by the FHA. The FHA even required developers such as Levitt in New York, to place a clause in the deed of every home prohibiting resale or rental to African-Americans. African-Americans were therefore explicitly prohibited from moving into such homes even though they could have easily afforded those homes, not that they did not want to reside in those areas. Those homes at the time were sold for between $8-10,000 and are now worth anywhere between $300-700,000. The white families over subsequent generations gained hundreds of thousands in equity, which would be used for their children’s education, health care, periods of financial difficulty and, which is the issue here, the funds to then later return to urban centres and purchase properties from renters and local municipalities African-Americans did not accumulate such wealth as a result of this federal subsidy. So today African-American incomes are about 60% of those of white-American incomes, and African-American wealth is 10% of white-American wealth. This therefore was due to government housing policy.

Its a Trade off, Redlining caused no investment in low-income neighborhoods and that was considered a problem. but if you do invest, it will cause an increase in demand, property value, and taxes and thus gentrification. In Philly there is a policy that allowed longterm homeowners to pay lower taxes to curb displacement...but then homeowners sold their houses anyway because gentrification increased the value of their homes. There are no solutions, only trade-offs - Thomas Sowell.

Yeah gentrification is a really complicated subject. One thing you an do to prevent is to: 1. Quit giving larger businesses tax advantages over smaller businesses, perhaps even reverse it. If you want to keep things affordable, stop encouraging more larger companies to fit into smaller areas. Beyond that, you have to be really careful. Because its actually better for more people of different economic and class backgrounds to be near each other. So you probably want some young professionals in your neighborhood, even better if you can get young people with children. That money and the expertise these people bring can be extremely valuable for economic mobility. Now a few specific policies I like are: 1. Mixed income housing: special grants for mixed housing so that low income housing is mixed in with high income housing. 2: Investing in new areas near the existing city, but outside it. That way you encourage new residents (who want to be in the area for work and cultural reasons) to move somewhere with fewer people. This can easily be done with limited time tax exemptions. Ultimately though, some people just love to live in densely populated cities or near them. And they have the money to pay whatever it costs. So at least some gentrification is going to happen if you want any social mobility. But I think it can be mitigated through some reasonable policies so that it hurts people less. At the very least we can stop ENCOURAGING its worst effects. When all else fails, move. I know that is harder if you are used to having a life and being in a community. A lot of America doesn't have a strong sense of community though, so that's kind of what you're up against.

@@davyjones-locker979 I agree that residential segregation used to be dejure and that those policies still affect us today. I think the white flight was due more to personal desire than federal policy. I don’t think the federal government should be in the business of insuring mortgages. They don’t insure mine and they did not insure my parent’s or my grandparent’s mortgages. Redlining was more a policy of privately owned banks than the government. The US has always been a country filled with people who want to move away from cities for a variety of reasons, space being the most important one. Developers get their permission to build from local government not the FHA. Almost no one can “easily afford” to buy a home. Just because homes were $10,000 then and $700,000 now does not mean it was “easy” then to borrow $10,000. Remember the effects of inflation. White families gained equity, but they paid for it through the cost of upkeep and taxes despite any mortgages deductions. Home ownership can also be a financial burden. African-American income and wealth are lower than white-Americans for a variety of reasons mostly having to do with unwed motherhood, divorce and crime, less so to government housing policy. None of this change the fact that, white or black, if you are a renter you are living in someone else’s house. You started your post by calling my assertion “simplistic and foolish.” You can say what you want but I’m the sensitive type so anymore insults like that will bring my part of this discussion to a close.

This had a huge impact. Denial of this fact will not do one any favours my dear fellow.

The inequality in wealth caused by the different access of education, especially financial education is the more concerning issue. When you don't understand how capitalism works, it's very hard for you to become wealthy. And hence you are less likely to see how wealth is created. It's a vicious circle. Instead of blaming the "invaders", the community's own attitude towards education and wealth creation is to be reconsidered. How many times can you hear a black rapper bragging about how hard he studied in school or how disciplined he was about his savings and investment? None! But those are the very few ways to become wealthy. Instead, if the most representative figures in a community only promote how violent they are and how irresponsible they are towards money, that instills a bad role model for the young. Definitely have met hard-working, straight thinking smart individuals from all races. But the entertainment a society is consuming and the culture it's promoting definitely influence the behavior of its people.
