Gentrification is the Future of the White Race

Gentrification lowers crime and increases economic output. No one on this board will care because they live in fly over states off welfare.

I live in a nice (not yuppie) neighborhood but the sheer amount of dark sorceries I fling around make the place feel super sketchy.
I need to carve the librarian symbol for (YOU ARE BEING WATCHED) onto my fence.

I don't know where you live but in my neck o' the woods this wave has passed. Gentrification was THE buzzword just a few decades ago. Economic stratification was supposed to gently funnel us into like minded communities etc.
The ball was indeed rolling my friend until the attitude of entitlement (and the idiotic idea that equality meant equal results not equal opportunity) crept in and took root.

I feel no sympathy when I see nogs get priced out due to gentrification
They should've taken care of their neighborhood, or at least lived in a rent controlled area

I'm in Brooklyn so the wave has very much not passed. Five years ago Williamsburg was just graffiti, bars, trash, Hispanics, Orthodox Jews and hipsters, now it's all white families, restaurants, thriving businesses and clean streets. The hipsters are so pissed that they've had to move farther and farther down the L train but they're doing based work cleaning those neighborhoods up for further gentrification.

If the people living there before it was nice wanted to stay, why didn't they invest in their communities? Or when it was dirt cheap, buy property? Instead they'd burn down their own houses for insurance money and have the state support them in public housing. Sad!

>Gentrification lowers crime
I guess the Broken windows theory is true?

I suppose removing barriers to purchasing and rebuilding structures would help. I heard that a lot of cities make it difficult for people to simply buy up land and be productive because of high costs (tax). Some buildings are designated to specific things because of building codes.

I would also suggest perhaps incentives for entrepreneurs to build or invest in those areas through tax credits. Which comes from a similar idea being experimented with in providing school funding to expand competitive education.

Well yes, zoning law and property taxes are two big barriers to entry, you can't just go around building a toxic waste dump next to an elementary school (unless you live in Texas).

But as long as you can save up a down payment ($10-30k) you should be able to buy something affordable and either fill it with overpriced apartments or live there yourself until you flip it.

I'm in New York as well and I'd love to buy property here but it's too expensive and my knowledge on how to get loans and how to start my own realty group is limited

Strawman, of course. The zoning issue is more like when it comes to someone wanting to build a 4 story apt building, but the zoning board doesn't allow new buildings above 2 stories because "This neighborhood is 2 story, turn of the century brownstones" And god forbid inventory goes up, and prices fall....
