new york and the US sucks...... I much rather live in a more real place like europe or latin america and not in a country where culture is going to the shopping mall and obsess with labeling everyone out there by races!
@barudzija7 Wow, you must not have even watched this video before commenting. Go to 3:45. Schomburg Collective. I guess it doesn't matter since as of the last census whites are now the minorities in Manhattan. It's funny how people don't want to live in a shithole, and then when someone fixes it up, they complain about the rent going up. These people need to grow up and take some personal responsibility. No one is preventing them from going to school and getting a job.
@m015094 you just don't get it do you? this is going on all over the world not just new york. it has nothing to do with color. new york used to be an actual city with people who worked normal jobs. now every neighborhood has turned into a fashion hub. i think that is less productive then anything.
@barudzija7 Are you even from NYC? Try going north of Central Park or out of Manhattan some time and you'll see that what you wrote is pure nonsense. Plus, if you remember NYC from the 80's and 90's with crack cocaine, you'd be PRAISING gentrification.
@barudzija7 Nice response. Just because some losers want to post notes on my page calling me a troll, must make me so, right? I mean, I must not have provided facts to back up the things I wrote here...Is that why you are mad? Because you cannot argue with facts? Just face it....making a neighborhood better means forcing out the scum - like the drug dealers and bums. It also means that eventually the cost of living will go up....
@barudzija7 ...and the only people who complain about property values increasing are the ones who RENT. It's too fucking bad if you didn't want to take the risk and OWN a property, but don't bitch about it. Plenty of people who took the risk to OWN got screwed recently by declining housing markets. Oh well, it's part of the game. Some win, some lose and the smartest always win. Don't be dumb.
@m015094 "the smartest always win" I think you're confusing intellect with ruthlessness. With attitudes like yours is it any wonder that America is one of the most unequal societies in the world. You also seem think that displacing problems such as crime and drug abuse is the same as solving them and that all the residents are either "drug dealers" or "bums" - these aren't facts, they are your uninformed opinions.
Gentrification is an injustice perpetrated against the poor and it's world wide.
@RegenerationWatch Yes, I was clearly wrong. Making neighborhoods better by fixing up blighted buildings, bringing in businesses, and reducing crime is a TERRIBLE thing. We should live in squalor because it will keep rent low.
blacks took over the land now the white people are taking it back stop fucking crying

@m015094 lol it's not about minorities. it's about taking the people that built the city out and replacing them with generic clones.

Great. A music video-cum vox-pop with losers. There is a really good film just waiting to be made about gentrifying rich scum, but this isn't it.
