    I was born and raised in this exact building 285 Quincy st. Apt D when I was growing up the block was fun and full of life. Now with gentrification no one comes outside no one interacts with each other. It’s a dead area. No children playing the neighborly feeling has been sucked out by a bunch of strangers apt sharing and treating every living space like Airbnb. I know the West Indian woman that was speaking. Don’t remember her name but I remember her children. And she lived directly over me in 1D. One of my best friends Thomas was her son in law. the block even has a CEO of a company that I used to work for that lives there now. The CEO of John Hardy Jewelry brand lives in Bed Stuy?! He lives right next door to my God mother Laury. Anyway it’s interesting seeing white people living in this building that I grew up in. Believe me things have truly changed. I know Lexi and kiona, and ms. Figaroe but I don’t think anyone else is still there from the 80s and 90s anyway..

    In the 1980s my wife was lured to an apartment with the promise of a job in Bed-Stuy. She was there for about 3 days...to this day I have no clue what this was about but it couldn't be good! We've been apart for many years and I still I have no clue. When I picked her up she seemed normal.

    Wow. I did not know that this house called 'Ivy House' has been in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn for the past few years. Now folks like the black and white people have lived here in this Ivy House for decades since the gentrification has changed. : 0

    I live in the Midwest, but have lived in Brooklyn. The Ivy Castle is a Tenement. There were few built after 1910. In Bed-Stuy, OTOH, the oldest extant dwellings are probably the brownstones and Greystone buildings. Kresge, Woolworth, or both of them lived in Bedford-Stuyvesant back in the Guilded Age.

    Gentrification is upgrading property and raising rent so it can be good quality for middle class hard working individuals . By saying gentrification is "pushing blacks out" ,you are foolish. There are many many middle class black families who still live there. The landlords basically just pushed out the individuals who were bringing problems ,no ethnicity in particular .
