- Just like other parts of Houston the Sunnyside area has caught the eye of developers. Many older homes are being torn down and replaced. But some say their history is being erased and they are worried builders are not following building codes.
If the law says single family residences, that means single family residences. So sick of corporations acting like predators.
@@tyler0506 That is called multifamily residences per land lot since it can be a duplex, triplex or quadplex, it is not a single residence per lot as stipulated in the deed......all these real estate investors whether small to large or corporate are creating havoc in the real estate market, just pure greed......
They come by my house all the time with the briefcase full on money trying to get me to sell, I always tell them hell no, I love my home.....
I'm sick of foreign developers!!!!!
@@tyler0506And here he is… one of the folks trying to gentrify black neighborhoods.
Laws are made to be broken.
Remember that. Those migrants will be occupying all the duplexes built nationwide while blacks will become extint.
@@troywest1724 Why can't so-called black neighborhoods be gentry?
Keep HOA out. Community fundraising and community club workers only to maintain streets and landscaping. No HOA.
Free Capitalism. Are you some kind of commie? If no one wants to live there, then they will go out of business. Let the consumer decide.
HOA is the opposite of capitalism, fool.@@smokingjoe9864
Keeps the riff raff out. That way can enfoce clean living. Covenant Rules.
@smokingjoe9864 nah keep the HOAs out. We don't need them and their bs coming and ruining what we've built and strive for. They are greedy predators.
Not all HOA's are bad. The problem is Humans... not HOA's in theory. HOA's can do things like making sure that Deed Restrictions (which are what these dummy's in the video are actually talking about--not "city codes") are renewed and updated and enforced. If this area had an active (and intelligent) HOA, their Deed Restrictions would not have expired and they would have legal grounds for stopping this type of (perfectly legal) redevelopment of their ghetto.
Those duplexes never should have been permitted in the first place. The code clearly says single family house. Who approved the permits?
Each half is considered a single family house.
@@Ih8nine If they're attached they are 2 units.
They are working to make the city change the laws/planning, coz there are not enough land and there are a lot more demands for housing. Well, at least that's the case in Dallas right now, and they also try to make minimum sqt requirement to a reasonable lower number!
@@oldman-zr2ruCorrect! each unit holds " a single family household"😢😅😂
Wrong, genius. What is this "code" you refer to that "clearly says single family house" ? Do you even have ANY idea what you're talking about? Because I do. And there is no such "code" in Houston. But go ahead... find it and quote it specifically (chapter, page, paragraph, etc)... We'll wait.
They are trying to do this in every area of the country, not just in that area. They will not leave people alone and are constantly calling, day and night, sending letters, flyers in the mail, etc. If they buy your home, they will not give you enough money to purchase another home for CASH in another area. They are only giving out 'low ball' prices for homes.
The investment companies are advertising that people want to "rent" and that home ownership is no longer a thing. they are trying to make the US a 'renter nation to benefit their bottom line.' Who are they to decide what "YOU' want in your life. They don't live in your area, nor do they want to. Then everyone talks about 'homelessness,' oh really. I think the tactics that are being played out everywhere are contributing to it.
If you don't make 6 figures in this country, you are considered non-existent in this country anymore..
If it was anywhere else no problem black neighborhood we are stealing there land no its been paid for blacks always tryna make it about their selves
IF the area is deemed "HISTORIC".....that should be enough....
There's nothing historical about the neighborhood. She's just trying to prevent gentrification. They'll lose their hokes when property taxes go up anyway😂

“We gotta figure something out”. Yea it’s called building permits! Don’t issue them if the plans don’t align with the paperwork in place!
Yeah!
Notice how they kept talking about HOA rather than targeting single family homes = only single family homes. Easiest solution is just follow the building codes.
I'm proud of this lady for speaking up and reading the deed restrictions. The language couldn't be any clearer... The city should tear that crap down at their own expense and reimburse the developers because the city approved the building permits. Someone needs to be fired for this.
How did they get permits to build something zoning said they can't 🤔??
Same thing happened in the Heights! The properties are being purchased and clear cut, all the beautiful old trees removed to make room for the 4000 square foot behemoth houses now taking over the area. Money ALWAYS wins out! The owners are offered so much for their property they can't resist selling!
👍True! Grew up in the Heights in the 1980's. Went back 20 years later, couldn't find but one or two houses still standing from that era. Newer doesn't always mean better. 🙂
@@ChilledVibe25honestly "newer = better" is just what the seller wants you to believe.
Have you been to Lindel Heights, Between Cavalcade and Fulton? It's ridiculous, how many new buildings ( town homes)there are. My neighbor,tried selling her home doe 275,000 and they offered her 80,000 she took it off the market. I'm seriously, getting so angry with these developers .
@@sopadecalavzacaballero4805 Mine was the opposite! The tax value is $500,000 and I was offered $625,000. I'm not interested in selling.
It's happening everywhere since it's the blacks it's a huge deal now boy I tell you back people are so entitled these days
I wonder how many calls per day are considered harassment or intimidating on an elderly person.
HOUSTON is a City not known for it's "ZONING" Laws so why is anybody Surprised by this?
Surprised by what exactly? People building perfectly legal buildings??? No, I'm absolutely not surprised by that.
@@Big_Island_BoiSurprised by confusion and the contentious nature of something that should be cut and dry. I’ve lived all over the US and have never seen ambiguity over zoning like here. This isn’t normal.
Thank you all for standing up ❤.
Its not only big corporate builders. Its also small up and coming builders that are just trying to rent out or flip . And land there is priced lower that other parts of the city, so yeah ( vultures)
How were permits granted for duplexes when the deed restrictions state single-family homes only? Once again, it seems that the responsibility is being put on the community to fight for themselves instead of the city's permitting and code-enforcement offices doing their jobs.
The city planning and permit department knows its wrong why are they issuing permits to build
Must not be wrong ?
@@RobertMarshall-sy6oy They literally showed the building codes in the news report at the 1:05 mark,"....one detached single family dwelling...."
The developers aren't following the code and the permits shouldn't have been issued based on those building codes.
Did you not watch the video?
That's what happening in my neighborhood. I live in the Eastwood area and there's a duplex house being built across the street from me and we have signed a petition that no one is supposed to build a duplex here in the neighborhood. It should be just single family homes.
2-4 units are single family
Your petition is retarded and meaningless if you don't have any valid, active, DEED RESTRICTIONS to prevent what is perfectly legal under Houston building ordinances. You can't just get your way by signing a petition. It doesn't work like that--for good reason. And there have always been duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, etc in Eastwood, EaDo, 2nd Ward, etc. From the very beginning. I own one of them... a 4plex w/ garage apt from the 1930s. Get over it.
@@tyler0506you’re commenting everywhere you clown
Agreed 💯
Same people always want what we have. Nothing has changed and never will. They groom their children well.
When are you going to yell at the previous owners that sold them the land.
Don't fool yourself there buddy
Who made the houses and the land they were built on? Who made electricity and connected it to those houses? Who made water then cleaned it and installed pipes around the house so it could be used? Who invented heat and cold and air conditioning? Who invented satellites, created outer space and gave earth a gravitational pull? Who invented radio waves and equipment to transmit them to be used for cellphones, wifi, etc? Who reliably maintains all of this? Not you guys. ⚪ people did/do. Also you guys hurt yourselves more than anyone else so focus on that.
Most of the Gentrification is happening by Latinos and Asians. The white folks ain't trying to buy that area
They want 3rd Ward, acres home, 5th ward, Sunnyside, denver harbor... thank you Dr. Spikes for all you doing for Sunnyside
Lahaina, Maui was also a historically protected city before it got burned down. Now, half of the residents moved away.
Many rich corporations are going to replace residential homes destroyed in that fire with resorts for the wealthy. A rich man's paradise.
Its time for older, historical, and minority based communities to make a stand against corporate developers who turn our cities in dystopias.
Seriously help them don’t take from them smh
I only get three phone calls a day from random Indian people “wOuLd YoU LiKe a CaSh OfFeR fOr YoUr HoMe????”
All these investors are trying so hard to claim all the homes, turning this whole country into a consumer dystopian aristocracy state
How do they get your phone number?
@@ebayerrinformation being leaked to the web.
Thank you Dr Spikes ❤❤❤
Duplexes with 500$ HOA and over 599k$ for rich to afford and push lower income out thorogh gentrification. They do this in every popular city.
Fight for our neighborhood
So they finally are getting to my old neighborhood huh? I never intended to live over there ever again once we moved away. I had no intention of ever going back. But I still have a lot of family over there and my family owns houses over there. So either they're going to gentri fry the area or it's just going to end up run down again. Gentrification is both good and bad. It makes everything unaffordable for those who live over there, but it also makes the area nicer so I don't know how I feel. Yeah that neighborhood has expanded even since I was a kid. One of the things that's different from me and a lot of my friends is that yeah, even though I grow up in the hood, I grew up in a house my whole life. I didn't live in an apartment until I became an adult and an apartment isn't entirely different beast. So yeah it was the hood but I always had a front yard a backyard. I remember we had orange trees, raspberry and all kind of other fruit growing in our yard and those are experiences not everyone gets to have
Say no to H O A Sunnyside !! Greedy corporate America !!
Black folks ,pay your taxes and keep the land in the family ,don't sell out to the dam predators !!! Don't do it !!! 😮
Hey. Didnt the American indians say that too? way back?
These are first nation people, not INDIANS😮
It doesn't matter that the violations are being exposed now; the city approves stuff that THEY then say "sorry - you have to move it ; it's in the wrong place ! " they have no problem after the fact; to demand changes for code violations
Here comes higher taxes they are gonna run you out maam.
Exactly right! Raise taxes and price people out of their homes. It is ridiculous. The state government creating homelessness. Can't win for losing. Between taxes, home insurance and HOA fees people are finding it difficult to remain in their homes. All they want is money money money and to hell with humanity
@@lucycan6363 who did you vote for?
@@soflodougvoting matters 😂
This is happening all over the US, ruining neighborhoods in family single homes, adding in apartments, etc. FL and CA have had this problem for a while now.
Take those duplex down they violated the law they knew better . So make them pay in their pocketbook😮.
Rich folks coming in and getting poor folks out 😡
Someone is getting their pockets lined. How do you not read the that it states single family homes! Those buildings should not have been allowed to be put up.
I came to the States in 1980 grew up in 5th ward, moved out in 1987 and never looked back.
Why does it matter what race the area has historically been?
Ask that same question about River Oaks, or Bellaire, or Friendswood, or any other place mostly white people live.
@@AlldatJazz-rw9wy nobody is talking about race in those neighborhoods. What’s your point?
Because blacks always want more and more they are never satisfied, and if a white community would do this, it would be racist
@@billmaddock you don't have to talk about it because you already know WTF it is. Stop acting like you dont
since it is a black neighborhood with single family residences per land lot...that is landmarked by the State of Texas..... to preserve it identity as having single family residences per land lot......
I hate developers. They are greedy vultures.
We vote for this then act surprised/ my people so slow but cry bout jan6 wish we had heart to stand for something
It’s America, freedom to build on your own land. Stop the jealousy.
In Montgomery county they are buying floks left and right real fast to flip em. Most people here dont want to sell and start over
Everyone meaning foreign investors
Thats happening in my mothers neighborhood. They built a duplex right across the street fro. My mother's house. Little York and Mesa used to be full of beautiful trees now its just a dump with metal fencing and semi truck parking everwhere. They dont try to make it nice for area. Its getti g over there.
That’s wild. How they get past that without a zoning meeting.
Degrade ? It’s already gone to shjt. If anything those new homes are going to improve neighborhood.
Gentrification
The law says single family
@@blackguy1811first of all who says black people cannot move into the duplexes you do realize that's not against the law don't you. Also how about yelling at the previous landowners that are probably black for selling their land to the duplex developers. But you obviously won't call them out because they're black. Just cry and blame everybody else like usual
@@lvbadboy Nope. It doesn't. That's the Deed Restrictions she's crying about. And they've long since expired. She's just too stupid to know any better.
THANK YOU. You're like the lone intelligent person commenting on this thread.
Code of ordinance can be incorrect when some might do it or code of ordinance might be correct when some might do it
In the neighborhood where I live they are building on the outskirts apartment complexes in the crime has went up severely
40 Acres and a Mule , getting screwed over again
Dont sell to investors!!
So they need to form an HOA made of the original neighborhood home owners who want to be part of it.
she is right but we also have to conserved them better this neighborhood look so run down.
No hate already been done
Check out allied construction bid rigging etc when you don't understand that big lots no bs
Who are they going to sell the new houses to anyway?
The anchor babies that were born 30 years ago
Whenever you hear historic you hear iconic or special areas nearest special schools near special Park whenever you hear that run
Tear it down and rebuild!
Bureau Land management also federal Land civil rights etc is not the same as others trying to control the Land a certain way big lots no bs
No the house don't belong there but they're going to do it do you like the area they liked it because of the people that are there now
Join the club little lady a lot of people since 2000 work very hard for their homes and even before that and guess who doesn't mean a damn thing play living in a technology age weather is just how to make that buck right now and get rid of you
Sunnyside pride.
*gasp*, progress!
Greed always win in this situation. Money trumps community value. Happen to my neighborhood.

When you a California taxpayer or elect dem no bs they show you something else or have to learn about zoning and how to pass no bs big lots
Don't get mad about me typing this but how do people not know that the school isd not having something to do with the zoning etc no bs big lots
People don't learn do you notice that developers want places like this but they want this because people who live there and made it like that it's nice to live there so they come in there and try to make a nice to make money for them but it doesn't work
In this technology age you lucky if you keep your home they are not going to help you can you give me the rope-a-dope and still give them the right away you know why cuz the developers got the money
D restriction mean s*** when you got government running the show now
People with money are going to move ya'll out. ..It just tike to move on..There alot of high crime in those area..If you own your house you uave nothing to worry about.
When you understand how to report shipments etc and contracts no bs big lots about our and your lots u know who is who and not about our and your lots
Developers are enemies
that area is run down and a dump
When you learn about code of ordinance when certain people not no real shipper's etc Port authority their code of ordinance will never be the same when they not that big lots no bs
This what happens when you old people sell out
Degrade the neighborhood? It’s scary over there.
Clearly it’s not that scary if they want to make it a white area
@@dilly7943exactly
@@dilly7943you're clearly not very smart. Just because you see a duplex does not mean a black family cannot move into it
@@dilly7943white people are not going to move into those duplexes. Come on, now.
@@user-ou5rs7wm8rhow more stupid can you be ?
Look at ballotpedia etc big lots when you see some cities etc with no revenue but u hear etc or saying about being broke big lots no bs
If certain people code of ordinance that might have been incorrect no bs big lots let's see how they change their code of ordinance from what it is now no bs from trying to control the Land no bs big lots
These people from other states talking like this is California, and that's probably where they are from. But I tell you what, gi to River Oaks, or Kingwood, or Sugarland, and get back to me.
Houston is a smaller version of commiefornia with the same mindless residents
Like I wrote no hate already been done that's how I became a real shipper etc Port authority because they wanna make up stuff about our and your lots no bs big lots
Now ✅ out Wikipedia about real positions and departments that's or learn that's what they are etc under the real civil service commission about our and your lots

Now we will see what kind of MAYOR WE HAVE?😢
How about yelling at the previous landowners that sold the developers the land. But you won't call them out right because they're black
@user-ou5rs7wm8r That's ignorant of you! First off, Sunnyside has always been diverse, and secondly, you can't place blame on people who made the choice to go wherever they see fit. It's up to new residents and developers to follow the rules. That's solely who should take the blame.

Well I guess you people need to start working hard like the rest of us. Maybe people won’t wanna get you out of a certain area.
Why is no one yelling at the previous homeowners that sold the land to the duplex developers. Is it because the previous homeowners were probably black and God forbid somebody yell at a black person.
Yup this 😂😂😂😂😂
even if they sold, only a single family residence are required per land lot...not multifamily residences.....
@@martincarr4204 none of that matters. If you look at the comments you have a lot of people talking about gentrification. And genius gentrification cannot happen if the black person that owns that land didn't sell it to the builders. They could have just held onto it and sold it to guess who Black people. All of this starts with the person who sold the house. Learn what accountability means
Stop race baiting all you people do is bring up race. Whoever sold the house did not know the land would be use for a duplex, your ignorance is showing
@@meangreen6044 My ignorance you're the stupid one. If you actually read all the comments there are people saying that are claiming gentrification. You and them obviously are not smart enough to understand. That if you want your neighborhood to be completely one color. Don't just sell your property to the highest bidder if you own a black house and you want to keep the neighborhood black only cell to black people. What is being built there does not matter dummy. What's being built and who you sell your land to are two different things. But you and the people claiming gentrification don't seem to understand that.
Bureau Land management also federal Land civil rights is a lot better for real agency etc commercial mail receiving agency smh better that way so people etc don't make up stuff about u no bs big lots about our and your lots
So u complain that your property value is up and new taxpayers are coming in time when many places are struggling to keep basic services running? 😂
They talk about this crap neighborhood like is mother Africa and not land already stolen from other people
As if Africa isn’t being stolen by Chinese, you clowns love to judge black Americans while your motherland gets colonized again and again
Why does it always have to be about color
Funny, doesn’t take much to derail a black cause
Yes lets keep yall segregated in yall area please. Problem is yall venture out of your zones.
That area is being taken over by illegals and anchor babies
People need living quarters. Quit crying.
Idiot
Go find in in Bellaire, or River Oaks, then say that to them.
@@AlldatJazz-rw9wy Zoning laws are out dated. They are basically Covenant Laws. The government or neighbors shouldn't have any say what I build on my property. Single home, duplex, or a flop house with 100 beds in a dorm. If you can afford the land in expensive areas, same deal. It is Your land. Build what you want.
Degrade the neighborhood? Well I think you guys are doing a good job already.
who wants to live in that dump? lol lies
Hipsters
Obviously white people
Lmao 😂
not every body can live is a multi million dollar home like you do....maybe you are one of those crazy investors that builds in that area
I wouldn’t live in sunny side if you paid me
Where is your so called Black leadership who you vote into office?
Stop playing race card, this is about builders violating land ordinance. Stop race baiting
Black Entitlement
What history? Selling and buying crack?
what a waste of valuable real estate land. they could accommodate 500 more families in that community. they will get cash plus one free family house to live. good deal. developer will sell the remaining three houses and get back their investment
They are afraid of gentrification, don’t blame them.
These people want to segregate their own neighborhood....pretty racist sentiment...
Yes it is!!!! but when everyone else do it it’s racist
😂Texas Redlining been happening since before you were born dummy.
These people? You must mean the government officials that established Jim Crow Laws in the 1870s to 1965 or those who established redlining. 👌👌👌
Stop race baiting! The story is about building ordinance and not allowing duplexes! You racist always see race! They don’t want higher taxes
