JURPLE says: Why Brooklyn Gentrification Sucks

if I see one more luxury condo smear this city, or one more Loser Loft in Brooklyn, I will weep at the feet of Lady Liberty. Is the real estate business so easy that all you have to do as a prospective landlord is find a tenement filled with artists, kick them out, and mark up the cost 500% to whitebread yuppies who want to tell people they're "slumming it" in an up-and-coming area? In NYC, the answer is yes

this fucking Yuppies come to NYC to pay this crazy rent for this STUPID looking Buildings in our neighborhoods and try to bring there stupid life style with them. WE DONT WANT YOU HERE YUPPIES!!!!

[nytmstr]

Too fucking bad when white Manhattan neighborhoods, like Hells Kitchen were being gentrified nobody gave a shit about us people, but now its happening to the blacks and other races everybody cries. FUCK YOU ALL MOVE LIKE WE WERE FORCED TO!

@blackra4 Newsflash... There have been cafe's and coffee shops and all that "yuppie" stuff in Brooklyn since Brooklyn's been here. I live in Brooklyn and my neighborhood is anything but "yuppie" but guess what... We have jobs. We care about our neighborhood and what it looks like. We want a safe place for our kids to go to school and play and grow up. In other words... We're not lazy fucks. We care.

That's the point. Get a clue.

[blackra4]

@NYGIANTPRIDE my point is i rather live in the hood all day with my own people and culture than to mix with white people. Most of us dont want to live around them. If that was the case we would move to the suburbs. Coffee houses and yuppie styles dont impress me. They dont even interact with the community. What are they doing in Broooklyn.

[blackra4]

The point being money is not everything. i rather live in the hood with my own culture and people than to have do deal with these yuppie white people. Coffee houses dont impress me. I rather get my coffee of a truck. What these yuppies think its cool and class we think are overpriced bullshit.

[NYGIANTPRIDE]

@blackra4 Problem is that there are very few safe "minority" neighborhoods. Look at the facts. I don't care about race its about the quality of the people and sorry... "minority" neighborhoods are by and large shitty. So stay in a drug infested shithole if that makes you happy. Its clearly what you prefer and what you create so that's all you deserve.

Hate is a bad thing. Give peace a chance... And get a job.

[blackra4]

@NYGIANTPRIDE Thiis is the problem I have with white people. I rather be in a safe neighborhood with only people of color. Fuck your coffee houses. Minorities and whites dont mix well. You have a different culture. Stay in your neighborhoods. We don't want your here. I can't stand you people.

@AlizeCiz exactly!

[nytmstr]

@AlizeCiz You sound so stupid because you have no idea what you are talking about. But if you doo please explain to us all what Gentrification in NYC means?

[AlizeCiz]

@nytmstr Nobody forced whites to move, you left because you chose to not live with''dirty coloreds'' while coloreds dont have that choice we are forced out.
