If people no matter what their income took a little pride in their communities and properties and maintained them….there wouldn’t be much left to gentrify..
Race for Profit.....go read it and I'm sure your statement would change.
Too many people have very little knowledge about history.
After working in the field for several years , I couldn’t help but come to the conclusion that “gentrification” is just a term someone came up with once they realized poverty was “too hard” a problem to figure out and wanted something new to talk about/publish/apply for grants with/etc.
The “gentrification” is just somebody from outside our neighborhood finally seeing value in our neighborhood…that’s a good thing. The bad thing is that they can outbid me for (enter whatever we’re competing for here)…in other words, my problem isn’t that my neighborhood is now valued by more people, it’s that I can’t afford it…aka, my poverty!…which is what we should’ve been addressing in the first place…and which is what I’m going to have to keep working on wherever my new home is.
Personally, I wish we would focus on programs that facilitate economic mobility…once that’s achieved, it brings people “options”/“choices” …once we have that, we can live wherever we want. Remember, “displacement” doesn’t just mean I had to move, it means I had to move somewhere i when i didn’t want to. If my “new home” is some place I like, then I’m fine with it (as long as I like it as much as my old neighborhood anyway).
Anyway, just my two cents. I hate to see “hip new concepts” take over the conversations when the original problems still haven’t been fixed yet.
Programs that facilitate economic mobility such as welfare. Singapore went from a 3rd world country to one of the richest through it. Social housing to give people a foundation to build from and free education for workers to improve there skill level
To me, that sounds more of a problem of people in the neighborhood never investing, then mad when someone actually comes in and raise the stakes we should’ve been raising stakes from the beginning
@@AChairInspacewell said!
Gentrification is only a positive if you own vs rent and have the capital to move. It's expensive to move for people who are living paycheck to paycheck.
Be responsibile and don't live paycheck to paycheck. I've done that, and it's irresponsible.
What I learned during a 40 year career in helping to put together public-private financing initiatives for revitalization of distressed and under-served communities is that the main cause of decline in the first place is a tax structure that rewards speculation in land over investment in job-creating capital goods. At the local level the main cause is the conventional property tax. The property tax is almost universally administered to foster land speculation by infrequent and inaccurate assessments. Buildings, which are depreciating assets are over-assessed. Land is generally under-assessed. Thus, the incentive to property owners is to hold land idle in anticipation of rising land values (reducing the supply of land available for development, and thereby artificially pushing up land prices even higher). All one needs to do is walk the streets in a city's central business district and nearby neighborhoods and count the hundreds of buildings that sit vacant or as empty lots. The proliferation of surface parking lots is another clear indication of a counter-productive tax structure. And, in neighborhoods populated by lower-income households, the incentive is to put as many people as possible into housing units, defer maintenance and wait for a government-funded revitalization effort to come along to purchase the land or at least stimulate the demand for land by developers seeking to attract higher income households. When gentrified, where to the low income individuals go; often, they go into the streets or the growing tent cities that plague most of U.S. cities. The optimum rate of taxation on buildings is actually zero. The annual taxation of a building amounts to the imposition of a sales tax year after year after year. The optimum AMOUNT of taxation on a parcel or tract of land is the potential annual rental value of the location, a value that exists independent of what the owner of the land does or does not do with the location. This value is societally-created and is a function of locational advantages, advantages in a town or city that are created by aggregate investment in public goods and services. It is the failure to collect the location rental values that rewards antisocial behavior on the part of property owners. When will those who govern and our civic leaders wake up to this reality?

That was excellent info thank you for that wisdom I'm listening.
@@jacobmeyerson2420 I have tried over many years to get elected officials to listen, understand and then come up with legislation to address the problems. The one state where enabling legislation has been passed giving to cities, boroughs and school districts the "local option" to move to a land-value only property tax is Pennsylvania. The state capital, Harrisburg, imposes a rate of taxation six time greater on assessed land values than on the value of its buildings. This should be the situation everywhere if we want to increase the supply of affordable housing and create a business climate that works.
People are having to move much further from the core than they would like in highly populated areas and may or may not see any benefits for years. They may face years with a worse standard of living is what it seems like to me.
I was thinking this too. i suppose that if you're a working class individual it would be a lot of hassle in terms of time and money to move, and you might even have to move so far that is no longer viable to keep the job you have due to the increased cost of travel. even if they could afford it, their travel time might be so high that it makes them miserable every day. id hope this isnt the case for most and that it is just a minor inconvenience that in the end actually helps them but its not clear that is the case. i suppose in an imperfect world the only way to see economic growth is to displace a few people along the way, even if it means the displaced might have a worse life experience after the fact.
That's too bad, if they hadn't been renting they could have sold their homes at these inflated prices and they would have seen substantial gains immediately. Even if it does take many years for benefits to emerge, we aren't slowing down economic growth for them.
@@bradsubramaniam4429 I bet zoning and such make things more expensive. I wonder how Texas and second tier cities are doing. I know in my smaller city pricing are shooting up.
This is fine and how it is in many cities. People should not be living in the core. It should be living in the center and the outskirts of the city and there should be a proper metro system which everyone uses to get in and out of the core of the city. The problem in America is that there's too many suburbs and this causes a host of problems. On top of that you have all the urban development that separates people by housing areas and so on. This creates a lot of the social divisions that we have and goes beyond just race but certainly makes that a lot worse as well. It also facilitates the drug trade by making pools of low income housing and crime. It also makes policing more difficult and increases hostility towards local residents because of police officers having to work in high crime areas do the social infrastructure. These things can be alleviated by moving to the city centers and having a more balanced income for the city.
Some folks talk about this situation as if there is an even playing field in this country.
@Rave Man! Right on
Wayycism Wahhh!!
And some folks talk about this situation as if they’re a perpetual victim
@Rave Man! maybe one of “our people” shouldn’t bought up a couple buildings instead of a couple chains.
It’s not even. There’s not quotas that benefit marginal Asians and Whites like there is blacks.
There were a lot of great points but I wish you would have acknowledged why change is so hard and that while gentrification may be an overall net positive, it is not a positive development for everyone. Some people are pushed out of where they live without seeing any benefit from it. Of course, those who are able to stay may see a huge benefit. Acknowledging that it is a difficult issue with gray areas for pretty much anyone would go a long way towards improving the discussion around gentrification.
It's not just bad for a minority of people either it's bad for a big moral majority.. I know these people because they play a big role in society feel entitled to destroy people's lives with their existence because apparently they have a job which benefits people's existence.

People have got to learn to move on. That's how it has been for all of human history and btw it's how America was formed. If you feel the city is growing to fast for you, move to another neighbourhood rather than making the place unsafe for other people

Could upzoning help "cores" last longer - easing the transition?
"gentrification affects a broad set of outcomes for incumbent adults and children. Gentrification modestly increases out-migration, though movers are not made observably worse off and aggregate neighborhood change is driven primarily by changes to in-migration. At the same time, many original resident adults stay and benefit from declining poverty exposure and rising house values. Children benefit from increased exposure to neighborhood characteristics known to be correlated with economic opportunity, and some are more likely to attend and complete college. Our results suggest that accommodative policies, such as increasing housing supply in high-demand urban areas, could increase the opportunity benefits we find, reduce out-migration pressure, and promote long-term affordability"
Brummet, Quentin and Reed, "The Effects of Gentrification on the Well-Being and Opportunity of Original Resident Adults and Children", 2019.
so he just basically said 'you can make money if you just service us from the outskirts' as if we needed to you in the first place
You started off by saying artists, musicians and low-income. I genuinely wanted to see what a different perspective might be. Confirmation bias prevented that. Opportunity missed. Thanks.
You sound condescending and immature
There was nothing on why gentrified places turn music venues, lounges, and the like into yet another coffee shop or restaurant. Or how you go from a certain flavor of a neighborhood into a nondescript, could-be-anywhere place. Or how valuable community centers that were businesses are now replaced by yet another mall. If low-income people are necessary for some jobs, and they work in some areas, their commute to their workplace is just as important to them as it is to the higher-income people. Opportunity missed.
It's not an 80 year old man complaining about change. It's recognizing character of places, people and finding a balance of incomes to create communities rather than commerce centers.
Gentrification is ugly. The new buildings look horrible. They have no soul. There is no sense of neighborhood identity.

Based on my experience That process has caused the separation of many families in the name of capitalism.
One could criticize "in the name of capitalism" if the San Francisco government wouldn't stop virtually every new housing construction development for the last 30+ years. When government interventions in the market make housing supply nearly perfectly inelastic, prices are going to rise sharply and gentrification becomes the inevitable result.
The reality is San Francisco is a case of separation of many families in the name of regulation.
Idk about your city, but gentrification has only made the greater Houston area safer than ever.
Oh how easy it is to just criticize capitalism. Capitalism is just a system of exchange. It does not imply specific things about how capitalism is managed. Pre-capitalism is way worse than capitalism. Would you rather be a slave to somebody to get land and access the resources. We can go back to that if you want, but I'd rather not. Capitalism is literally the only way to grow wealth. Without the growth of wealth there can be no economic development without forced labor. Capital allows there to be development to meet demand. The negative effects of capitalism should certainly be addressed but not at the expense of the freedom to grow wealth independent of a centralized government.
@@trollingisasport the reason why a lot of people criticize capitalism I think, is that they falsely believe that the system is set up against them. If you provide the system with a skill or labor, then the system will compensate you for the valued labor or end product, action to equal and opposite reaction, it’s almost scientific. Even without a college degree, one can make a decent living if they apply themselves and are a good citizen. Capitalism is definitely the most logical and fair economic system.
I dont care who or what is responsible for gentrification anymore. Im a native New Yorker and Ive been running away from it my whole adult life! From New York to San Francisco to the Hudson Valley. I am sick and fucking tired of it! Gentrification is like the Terminator. Its just keeps coming and coming and cannot be stopped by anyone of anything. It seems I have to move every ten years or so. Just as ive put down roots in the community some skinny hipster soyboy with a beard and beanie will show up with his female counterpart and within six months, WHAM. Out come the articles all over the place about the "Hidden Gem". Then comes the real estate guys with deep pockets, followed by the developers and then its all over. The rents and housing prices shoot up. The Yoga studios and artisanal cafes pop up. And finally the sign that its really over. The artsy murals get painted on the sides of buildings. These things within themselves are not necessarily bad. They are just sure signs of the coming apocalypse.
I knew it was only a matter of time until the landlord either jacks up my rent to insane amounts, or sells the property and wants me out. Which is where I now find myself after living here in my current home for 13 years. Property going up for sale and I have 60 days to get out. I mean, where do I have to go? How fucking FAR do I have to move to stop this same shit from happening to me again!? The Canadian border? Im getting to old to keep having to start over and over again. And while I wish I had the money to buy something, I simply cannot afford it. People dont understand. You dont just lose your living space to gentrification. You lose your HOME AND COMMUNITY. I remember dropping by the local pawn shop one January day. I knew the owner and had dropped by to chat. That pawn shop had helped bail me out of a couple of tight spots in the past. Not just me, but the entire community. I dropped by again one early Spring day in May. Only this time it was gone!! There was only a note left in the window thanking the community and some photos of family and people from the community over the years. You see the pawn shop had been there and run under one family for 100 years. A Hundred Years!! It survived the depression and both world wars. But it couldn't survive a couple of Hipsters and a Manhattan real estate douchebag who bought the building and jacked up their rent to ridiculous levels. So whats there now? Some women's clothing boutique thats almost always empty of customers and is probably owned by some trustafarian hippie chick from the city. I repeat. I fucking hate gentrification.
The Angry Cro-Mag Wait so you’re saying that neighborhoods develop and get nicer as time goes on? WOW mind=blown.
But actually... those restaurants and stores do NOT cater to the original members of the community. The price is out of their range. Additionally, it is not fair for you to say “they’re mad they’re gonna have to move” dude... come
On have you ever been poor? Have you ever struggled?
Selenne Martinez Trust me I understand where you’re coming from… I have been poor in the sense of not growing up poor but once I went to college I was poor. As many people already know being a college student you are usually broke. My roommate and I used to window shop in the mall because we had no money. After paying bills we only had money for food and gas to put in our vehicles to get from our apartment to school and work. We also used to drive through neighborhoods that we could not afford. Saying all of that to say years later I’m in a much different situation. The fact of the matter is in this country I was taught you can be on the design side or the behind side which can be taken both ways...lol! As individuals we must do whatever we need to do to put ourselves in a position to get where we want to be. To give ourselves more options in life. Just as in gentrification some people are driven out of those areas they are usually thousands of people that move into those areas that can afford those things. I personally think in certain situations where you have homeowners or business owners that may have owned a property in a gentrifying area maybe local government intervention can be made to give those individuals a break. Now if you are renting, renters never have any say so. It’s those who own things that have a say in the matter. That’s just the way things are. And we all know life is not fair. I believe The sooner one can figure out what are the rules to the game, the better the chances are in playing and winning. I’ve never seen any situation in life dealing with the public where everybody will benefit. There are always winners and losers of a situation when dealing with society. That’s just a hard fact. With that said in society we should do our best to minimize any unfairness or disparity but to totally erase it, I believe is impossible. Someone is always gonna not be happy with a situation. I hope this perspective helps.
I think most of us have struggled at some point. It's how we overcome our struggles that often shape our outlook. I've sacrificed my lifestyle for years to become financially successful, and believe that most people can do the same if they have the will. If you can't keep up, you should move somewhere affordable for you while the rest of us appreciate what we've earned through our own hard work and a tiny bit of luck.
Selenne Martinez you’re pretty add me on snap ?
@@karencalifano6132 Great, I'm glad that some of those who live in gentrifying areas work. They should work harder, smarter, or make better life choices if they want to compete better for housing. I'm actually pretty humble considering where I am in life at a young age. I set out a plan for myself 10 years ago and sacrificed friendships, "partying", tv watching, etc in order to save up enough money for a downpayment on a small apartment building. I then fixed up each of the units, spending > $100,000 which I earned through my day job and continued to purchase more buildings to provide safe, well-maintained and affordable housing to others. I penny-pinched for years, and still do today. I don't go to Starbucks, I don't eat out at restaurants , I don't buy myself toys... I drove a dodge Neon until 2 years ago when it died and I purchased a used Toyota Camry. My tenants drive nicer vehicles than I do, and have larger televisions, better furniture... What disappoints me is the attitude that I should be scolded for my hard work and sacrifice, and the implication that I should be subsidizing those who didn't and don't work nearly as hard as I do. You know, when I visit my buildings to work on them on the weekends, I often find my tenants at home with their significant others or watching TV or playing videogames. Meanwhile, I work 12 hour days to maintain these buildings and to improve them (gentrify them???). This in spite of raising my 6 year old son by myself (his mother used me as a wallet and ran away when I refused to continue the exploitative relationship). People are in their financial situation for a reason. Examine your life choices if you're "poor".
@@DissonantShadow So you're saying that your tenants shouldn't have down time on weekends? Wow, as I said before, you think you;re better than everyone else because you work 12 hour days 6 days a week. Owning multiple properties comes with responsibility so you made that choice. You sound passive aggressive. You say that you own buildings which provide "affordable" housing, yet you say your tenants are home playing video games or watching TV or relaxing with their significant others on weekends like there's something wrong with that. I work full time, 5 days a week and I'm not poor. I raised 3 children and needed to have time to spend with them as well on weekends. You talk about working harder to get ahead in life. Well, that's fine if one makes a choice, however, one SHOULDN'T have to to work 70 hours a week to get ahead. It was NOT like that in the past. I don't know how old you are, but you have no clue how things have changed and how once middle class people are now considered low income thru no fault of their own. My generation was sold the "American Dream" 30/40 years ago and the recession of 2008, together with the advancement of technology, the gig economy, immigration and globalization over the past 15 to 20 years has changed all of that for many of us who thought we were "safe", etc.

literally all this is saying is why gentrification is good for the people who aren't being hurt by it. I've lived in dc my entire life. I'm a musician and an artist. Gentrification has done nothing but destroy my city and it's culture. Punk and gogo clubs are shut down by police to be replaced with high-priced shopping centers. Artists are forced to move out of the city to suburbs which are structured to destroy the kinds of communities that allow culture and humanity to thrive. the only jobs we can find are far from our homes now, serving the people who are taking over our communities. nobody asked us if we wanted this. nobody gave us a chance to stop it. we don't want to serve people we don't know who dont care about us or our culture, we want to serve each other and build our own communities. who the fuck is this to tell me and everybody else that it's not a bad thing that we've been forced to abandon our homes and communities to serve people we never asked to have near us?

Well I wish it happened in Vallejo CA. We (couple) bought a great house, old growth landscape. Had a bit of work to do and we did it over time! We saved and made fixing our castle our #1 priority. Unfortunately the neighborhood didn't have the same view. Grew up in the bay so this wasn't anything new to me. Only thing I didn't count on is the difference when you own vs rent. I,we could leave anytime if we didn't dig our surroundings when renting. When you own you can't and you have a serious stake in it. So things that you blew off of let go aren't ok anymore!
Bottom line it's not worth living in shit to wait for the rainbow. We sold and made over double. So we were not at a loss. Disappointing though. Lesson learned. It's not the house it's the neighborhood!!

I'm working class but enjoy seeing poor people get mad and do nothing over and over. I have no problem with it
I'd say it's more actresses than actors who fly into LA to meet producers.
This is a very bias video🫤
This clown Robert Weasel doesn't even know wtf he is talking about
Gentrification is needed for a city to keep up with the changing times and modern infrastructure.
@Martin Dennis Someone's poor mammy lose her house?
But at what expense? The poors, as always.
@@FAITHandLOGIC You're an illogical dummy
Except newer technology and progressive changes doesn't mean economic progress dummy. If the gap between the rich and poor widens then there is no economic growth. Pls learn simple macroeconomics.
Yes agreed! but does that make it okay to displace an already existing population in order to replace them and simply just not care what happens to them afterwards? don't we as a community have some form of responsibility to make sure these people have somewhere to go?

This dude is criminally misinformed. This video is legit laughable.
Glad you gave no facts and only did an ad hominem attack. What is the alternative to gentrification?
No response in 4 months, rip
@@MatthewKanwisher How about naturally helping those in need and not displacing thousands of people to make a profit? Who cares if property values go up when someone else just forcefully took over my home? Everyone deserves a place to live and there is incentive to help people live in a nicer area other than money. Gentrification is greed. It doesn’t help the poor, it helps the rich move into areas they want. By the way, the guy in the video started with the “attacks” by saying it’s only the left complaining. People on the right and center are complaining about this too.
its about time.
The left whines about gentrification, and they also whine about “white flight”. They are funny little folks.
@David Lynch You sound demeaning, faux superior & LITTLE based on the content of your passive aggressive comment
Sporty GymBabe read into it what you will, but it is a fact, and facts don’t care about your feelings.
@@davidlynch5226 Stop repeating statements you heard from Ben Shapiro and gentrification kicks people out of their neighborhoods and you don’t understand how hard it is to just get a job or move because it’s really hard and you wouldn’t understand that because you probably grow up wealthy
you put shame upon david lynch's name. he in fact spoke on keeping the spirit true which relates to the issue of gentrification:
“When you see an aging or a rusted bridge, you are seeing nature and man working together. If you paint over a building there is no more magic to that building. But if it is allowed to age, then man has built it and nature has added into it - it's so organic.”
David Lynch in "Catching the Big Fish"
@@NickyM_0 ironically you described your own comment with your comment. What he said is pure fact
This analysis is embarrassingly bad. It’s basically a terrible rehash of the individual consumer theory.
Thank you Robert ❤️
You mean "FU Robert Weasel"
