I grew up in Brooklyn and Queens... Neighborhoods change and usually NOT for the better. In this case you had an unsafe crappy neighborhood with a ton of crime and now people with JOBS live there. Fucking deal with it. I saw my working class neighborhood turn into shit in a matter of 4-5 years... Maybe some of these people and some of you should move there instead. They'll feel at home with all the crime, drug addicts and welfare cases, away from this "horrible gentrification".

@glorialucia why should they have to leave their home? why don't YOU move to another state or stay your ass in suburbia!

@trapper101 Why was the neighborhood so dirty that it needed all this cleaning up?

Do you think the average white person has any more contorl over this than you do? They are also being thrown out of area's the Socailist Elite havedeemed 'usable'.. The truth is we have got to stop blaming black or white.. it's not about race, it's about CONTROLLING US... and keeping us under the poverty line... and feeding us lies about each other.. PEOPLE.. this is about destroying us.. and they will use us against each other.. BECAUSE THEY CAN AND BECAUSE WE CONTINUE TO ALLOW THEM TO.

I can't even begin to explain how awful this was. Agree or disagree with the point, you obviously know nothing about gentrification or the area. Your information was wrong and your images were about areas not in discussion. Awful awful awful.

Gentrification is a big part of the so called, New World Order.

CONTINUED: I say good for the blacks and latinos that are moving to states FAR from the big cities. You couldn't get me (a single white male) to live in any city nowadays as it could be instant suicide. I bet the people that lived down by the world trade center in the condos over there regretted it.
