He's saying that by rentering later on when you've made it will help the community grow. He's talking about reinvesting the money into the neighborhood so that it isn't as violent or poverty ridden for your kids and the kids in the neighborhood therefore making better people.
Also it is a way fight against gentrification. you have more control of who comes in and ensuring affordable housing for the people who grew up in the neighborhood.
@Bumps in the night. I agree with you about section 8 for the most part. In my experience they do trash the place because they do not know how to take care of themselves and definitely not a house but you do know the majority beneficiary of section 8 are white people. Also changes your user name. it sounds like herpes.
The "Barbershop" is a central point in urban communities where the old mentor young men growing, while finding themselves. Edgewood is my neighborhood and enjoy investing in it.
Its a nice idea to re-enter your old neighborhoods. I tried it. A lot of housing in my home town is in shambles. A friend of mine invested in the stock market for a few years, made some $ and then decided to buy houses, fix them up and rent out. We did our best to do right by people. We listened to every type of sob story. We were robbed many times by freeloaders, houses were broken into a few times. After about 2 years of turmoil things were looking up. Had good renters for a while. The neighborhood what just looking brighter! Then one day a local gang did a drive by through the neighborhood and shot 3 black dads in front of their kids, specifically black dads in front of their kids. I was one of them. I was the only one who survived. I heard later that it was a part of gang initiation to do that. One man was arrested, was caught on camera. I left and never went back. Re-entrification is a nice idea, until you get a bullet in your back from people who don't want things to be nice. There is an element in these cities that want it to be that way, it is how they make $, it is their source of power.
He is 100% correct about what's happening to Edgewood Avenue. You have television and movie companies moving in and setting up offices over there... and as a result you have real estate developers putting up Condos for hipsters.
@@beneaththesound well yeah, especially Inman Park. I had someone the other day tell me that Cabbage Town used to be the red light district, and look at it now?
I grew up in ATL and loved it... I left to go to college and never returned... You couldn't pay me to move back to the traffic, crime, masses of people, and crazy housing market... Sorry, I like my rural farm
I'm from Kansas. Moved to Atlanta in 2011. Purchased my first home in English Avenue. I meet so many people. And hear so many stories of the history of Atlanta. But most of all the people here are discouraged that everything is going to be taken away from them due to no resources on how to keep their stake. But I am seeing that it is still taking the turn for the best.
I saw Killer Mike the first time on the Summit thing Sean Combs put on in Atlanta. He is such a intelligent and we'll spoken man. I might not agree with everything he says or thinks but damn if I wouldn't buy him a beer even though he can afford it much more than me. Never the less I'd be more than happy and willing to buy him a beer just to pick his brain for the time it takes to drink said beer. Or I'd gladly smoke with him if he'd allow me to. Such a beautiful mind he has.
This only applies to rural and suburban areas. I’m born and raised in Manhattan. There’s no land or houses to buy, unless you got a few million. That’s the bigger issue nobody talks about.
Why would you want your kids growing up around violence, gangs, sub-par education, and less resources...if you can provide better??!! Plus, some residents will be jealous of your success and see you as target
I 100% agree with what your saying. From my point of view what this man is trying to say or said very clearly is that black people are not putting into their own communities and that in turn allows for the bs to continue
Hes talking and giving advice about how all of those things can be changed and you decide to list the problems Again so i ask what is the solution and no i dont want the 1940s grab yourself by the bootstrap spiel. Communities and businesses have been destroyed and continuously so for decades with no recourse other than racial and socio-political hatred being spouted.
@@johnnyrebel1115 Basically in the black community its a problem w/ depleting resources. If all of the affluent and capable people automatically leave , what is left ? You have the lowest and least educated left. You can not complain about the white man not caring about the community when u dont. This is the result of desegregation. It s FACT that prior to the 60s-70s you had thriving black communities w/ businesses and professionals such as DRs and Lawyers. After segregation those educated black families fled to go live amongst whites. Most blacks measure their success by their proximity to white people.
That's not what he is saying. He is saying if you aren't willing to do the work and make the sacrifices to improve the neighborhoods where you grew up then you don't get to demand other people do it for you.
Really touching point. As a white male in his thirties that has grown up in a rural farming area, turned rich cottage country, I take a lot from the it.
The point is to take it into your own hands by developing it yourself. The hood won't get any better if no one's doing anything about, God knows the government ain't doing shit so it's gotta be us.
So true. We need to take it into our own hands by developing it ourselves. The hood won't get any better if no one's doing anything about it, God knows the government ain't doing shit so it's gotta be us.
That's stupid, a dunk is a higher percentage shot than a lay up. Also there is a certain point where not wanting to be "humble" and not showboat becomes it's own form of showboating. Idk much about John Stockton but that sounds like something Russel Wilson's holier than thou ass would do.
@@Lovealllife369 That's not sarcasm. It may be a joke but it's not a clever or funny one so you shouldn't be a douche when someone fails to pick up on it.
He's way deeper than you expect from his name right, his name is that of a gangsta rapper with the IQ of 76, while in actuality he's a truly bright guy.
Whats wrong with his rap name? How is he supposed to standout as a rapper using his birth name of "Micheal Render"? Besides the killer in his name is because of him killing in rap battles, not anything violent. The fact that you judged his intelligence based on a stage name says far more about you than it does about him.
I grew up in a Protestant area of Belfast, and many catholic families, and later immigrant families began to move in... that was seen as positive and progressive... why when black neighbourhoods change is it seen as negative?
When the change brings higher rent, rising living costs, neighbors that have power to change how the neighborhood was for decades, etc them not having respect for the neighborhood and its history. Plus gentrification isnt a black thing. Its just what happens in cities that are.being neglected but have high resources so out of town niggas c9me.in and snatch it. Why wouldnt you be upset if knowing a starbucks opening up.is goong to.mean higher rent and pretentious neighbors.
Protestants were the dominant and majority (in the societal not statsitcal sense of the word) power in Belfast so Catholics and Immigrants moving in was progressive. Especially with how popular the racist and anti-immigration DUP still is among Ulster protestants. So the situation you're describing would be more akin to black people moving into a traditionally rich white area. And while that may be progressive, there is nothing progressive about rich white people moving into a neighborhood and pricing out its original inhabitants and turning it into a boring, homogenous and less ethnically diverse place.
I told my boss my dream was to have a small ass house in the neighborhood ive grown up in die there. But It's overpriced and not affordable on my income. Its not going to stop me from trying to get it one day. Everyone deserves a peice of land on this rock. Our ash and body's are allways part of it after death anyways.
I don't give a fuck what color you are,if you are blue collar and came up with nothing but love and your family worked hard to give you something then you can understand and appreciate the struggle of another family who went through the same thing.

I have this fantasy where I win the lottery and instead of leaving like most people would,I would stay and use my money to create businesses that weren't minimum wage jobs but actual great paying jobs that people could have and retire from and then do the same for their children so that I can give back in a way that is good for several generations of people in my city. Yeah I'd be rich and yeah I could leave and build a mansion in California or live in a beautiful mansion in Hawaii but I'd stay and create opportunities for the people who have none in my community. I'd pay them a livable wage to be able to buy a home and have savings that allow them to retire and live good lives.

born and raised in London but as a 22yr old it's impossible to buy a house there
