'They became white neighborhoods almost overnight' - Katrina supercharged N.O. gentrification

- Gentrification has swept across America. Historically Black communities have made a dramatic shift in demographics across the board. New Orleans is no different.
I blame the black politicians in New Orleans for selling out their citizens to developers. Black mayors and black council members in the city are to blame.
Yep
After Katrina your mayor said he didn't want poor people in the city anymore. It's not just Black politicians it's also a Democrat corruption issue.
Yep and Nagin over here hiding out in Texas.
The Congressional Black Caucus is a puppet show. They voted to give Ukraine 🇺🇦 a hundred billion dollars 💵
lol it became Trump country over night⚪️🗑️💩🤡👿
Demographics in neighborhoods in New Orleans are in a constant flux. They didn’t name the Irish channel the Irish channel because it was mostly black. Algiers was 80% white until the 2000s now most neighborhoods are 60% or more black. We’ve been in flux for over 300 years. Ask your Italian grandma who lived in the French Quarter in the 1940s how manyf French people still lived there
Exactly! No has s right to any neighborhood staying the same.
I didn’t know we could post comments that made sense.
Segregating neighborhoods by race is all illegal now. Progress!?
Today, to keep the races apart, segregation is done by income.
And gentrification is good for Wall St. (bad for Main St). Feels like 'antebellum' all over again.
The whole point is that people are trying to keep neighborhoods (white) from changing by using gentrification. Gentrification is the new segregation. Because controlling neighborhood demographics (systemic racism by red lining) is illegal now, gentification is another South will rise again / MAGA fail.
Exact. Change is the only constant in life.
Thank you for bring this up. Gentrification has affected various ethnic and racial groups in New Orleans over the last 120 years. This has really changed the cultural landscape and food culture. And churches and other cultural organizations.
Meanwhile my city became ghettofied after Katrina. Used to be able to leave your house open while you were at work. Now you can't even have a lawn ornament in your yard without it getting stolen.
thars your counity fault for keping so any in poverty. you dont want to share th wealth and power with black people
That's capitalism 101. Tell us how we create millionaires without creating poverty? One takes from the other and then the other retaliates. Society has been dumbed downed to believe that the one that throws the second punch started the fight and is the problem.
@@olzt100 we dont need millionaires.
@@Billiepippen Exactly! But we have millionaires because we don't like the truth of human equality. No matter what title gained or how much money made, we all return to dust.
@@olzt100 no. your community does not like human equality. long before racism you had feudalism and royalty lording over others. race is just an extension of that tribal hierarchical mindset your community enforces
Is this supposed to be terrible? I'm not understanding the supposed distress here. 🤔
Imagine a news report complaining about historically white neighborhoods being transformed….never gonna happen
@alfavulcan4518 That's just it. Majority of neighborhoods in big cities DID used to be white. Black people migrated to these places and gentrified those areas. White people left and went to the suburbs and that's how the cities became mostly black.
I remember when those same neighborhoods were white and overnight became black ...if you remember, raise your hand ✋️
Can you explain in detail how it happened? I'm too young to remember.
@vincentupsdell1 the whites moved away because of crime...Mardi Gras parades use to go down St.Claude and pass rampant and dumaine, just like the song said...that all stopped when shootings began...I went to school with blacks and we had no problem until they bused kids in from the projects and then the turf wars began...what more do you want to know? It was a time when unwed mothers were frowned upon...it was considered a disgrace for a man to not marry the woman and help support the family...today, not knowing who your daddy is and mothers and fathers not caring about causes problems for children single mothers don't want to realize and admit and that goes for white unwed mothers as well.
@@gwenjones667 Thank you for telling me. I appreciate it.

In other words the neighbor hood improved, crime went down, stores started opening, the economy worth went up
Yep.
@@chriskobler3352 no
That’s what y’all care about? And not the black community. So no black neighborhoods that’s what your saying
@@adctw3422 this wouldn't be happening if the neighbor hoods where kept up. if the neighbor hood is falling apart and being destroyed by crime, nobody wants to live in the neighbor hood.
@adctw3422 No white neighborhoods? Is that what you're saying? You don't care about white people?
Practically every community that was ‘historically black’ was previously historically white. Why is it always considered a tragedy when a historically black community becomes white, but the transformation of a historically white community into a black one is never presented as a bad thing? Pure hypocrisy. Gentrification is a net positive, with benefits for black property owners who would be able to sell their homes at extremely competitive prices. The fact that renters may not benefit (but landlords certainly do) is neither here nor there. Simply go and rent in a neighbourhood you can afford. If you don’t like that then learn to live with it because that’s what being a renter means.
Because white people CHOOSE to move out. When black people moved in the cost of living area didn’t not increase.
"Imagine a news title saying "They became black neighborhoods almost overnight", PLUS how far do you want to go back because originally NOLA was white so whats the issue?
The cost of living is up everywhere people..
The title does make it all about race. when the story appears to be all about class. not race. those who can afford to buy, will buy and those who can't will need to move. not blacks need to move, whites need to move, asians need to move. just class levels. u buy u stay, u can't u move. doesn't matter what race u are.
You aren't oppressed.

This would never be a reported story if it was the other way around.
My mortgage went from $514.00 to damn near $900 bucks!
While in Canada I'm hitting almost 3500. It's ruff.. Smh.
Do you have an adjustable rate mtg or something? those def go up. and keep on going up? but a fixed rate mtg is good maybe u can refinance to get under a different program or something?
That's every where
I pay 900 for just a room nevermind a house. I live in Massachusetts.
Still playing the blame game
Better should not have to mean being priced out.
It is the white supremacists
My Mother who is Caucasian lived in the Lafitte Housing units in the 40's and 50's what happed reverse Gentrification. Now this lady uses verbage like "Swiped" To describe someone who pays for real estate? What happens when the poor move in? Crime!! I grew up in New Orleans east in the 70's. What's there now? Stop this whining. They are fixing up a third world city? Do a story on How N.O. East went from a nice middle class suburb to a crime infested mess, we watched the Plaza die on the vine.
True. The housing projects was actually built for the whites. When Bestie hit we had to move in those projects. Y’all did swipe places with us. You know it.
Y’all act like you don’t know the history! This was our land first! You guys enslaved us, when freed you wouldn’t allow us to buy property in decent neighborhoods when desegregation happened you guys ran to the suburbs “White Flight” and implemented red lining and other barriers so stop acting like like y’all not the problem
All Caucasian do is steal, property & land this is WELL documented 🤣
Sooooo, those neighborhoods improved...
Yep.
Some how none of these people decided to buy after Katrina when property was damn near given away.
this is what i was wondering
Buy WITH WHAT --their looks?
@@lql1094 Most received large sums from FEMA!
I wish i had money to buy
no not their looks every state and city has zero down home loan programs, where they pay the down payment and the closing costs. so basically nothing. so what's the excuse for everyone not investing in their own community. they even had some programs where if u purchase, then you got a huge azz check during tax season, president obama created it. when they were pushing everyone towards homeownership... @@lql1094
Katrina residents bailed out of the area after the storm. They asked for relocation & received help to do get moved. Now going to complain? Everyone is having trouble getting by. Someone else is always responsible...
@@user-gc1dl5ji9i when a predominantly black city is continuously being gentrified, then yeah someone else is the problem. Especially when you want to drive out a certain group of people to erase they're culture. Those new houses say it's the new north and New Orleans
@@americanindian5259
Do you understand the definition of gentrification? What is undesired about it? Every family (blacks included) seems to wish for all the benefits of it -- but none of the responsibilities of it. We can complain about living in poverty -- then turn around and complain that improvements are too costly for the lifestyle we choose. There is no Free Ride. Attempting to hold others responsible for generations of decline -- only pave the way for more decline. There comes a time to move forward...
@@user-gc1dl5ji9i spoken with white privilege. Stupid much? When you understand systematic racism, then you can understand gentrification for what it is. It's always you white folks trying to tell us or educate us about us or what goes on with us. The funny thing about is how y'all are willing to deflect to avoid the truth 🤡🤡
I’ve been here fifteen years. The rent has doubled. And the pay, not so much. I’m single without kids and I gotta work a lot a lot to get everything paid, but I make it happen. I can’t imagine being with family or vehicle or using a/c or not being able to work several jobs as I do. It’s true in many places. It’s not easy. It sucks to see people struggle anywhere. And New Orleans is so tight and loving. Most people powerful place I’ve lived. It would be great is we could make these connections to help keep the families here and together that have been for so long, if they wish to. My closest family is 1,000 miles away. The family unit in New Orleans is special. I’ve had a lot of great people treat me good. There has got to be a better way, across the board. Peace
They wanting to land a grab & go thats how they operate RACIST WYT people
I have found,the closer a city is to the Caribbean/Gulf coast the more compassionate, easy-going, open-minded and community-oriented the residents tend to be. People who were raised near the magnificent ocean can usually see what is actually worth risking and they know how to value human life over material things. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for much of the rest of the US. Whenever I reside in or visit American cities located far away from the southern border (parts of NYC excluded) I notice people often speak down to me in the most bizarre ways. It gets especially weird once they hear I’m from Florida, and when I stay in those places too long I start to feel like maybe I grew up on a different planet. They will start asking questions trying to figure out my ethnicity, they will randomly do awkward salsa or tango dance moves around me, and inappropriately bring up alcohol as a conversation topic. Even in southern California, where there is a relatively diverse population in the larger cities, people seem to split up into groups and steer clear of people who are different from their own, in confined little bubbles. People from more inland (?) USA also appear extremely guarded to me and often treat me like I am an alien or I’m not American enough or something (they even act like this when we’re in a community that I’m familiar with and they are the guest) Americans really can never give up their whole colonization thing. Strangely enough it’s not only the pilgrim Americans who stare and treat me like I’m out of place. It’s everybodyyyy. Xenophobia and colorism are worldwide issues but there is something very specifically American about the level of advanced strictness that has survived so long in this country. After all, Hitler was inspired by the trail of tears and all the countless murderous atrocities committed against indigenous communities and their history. People do not read enough, or care about history at all, because if we did then we might be forced to actually recognize patterns and face the consequences of our continued carelessness as a nation. Wisdom and reflection can only lift communities up and bring corporations down. If we had no corporations where would we get all our side hustle paychecks ? How much sense can we make in a coin shortage! The manifest destiny attitude has spread like a virus that does not discriminate. The arrogance and entitlement have consumed and taken hold of anyone and everyone who will act as a willing host to bigotry. People are turning on each other like they did in Germany.. regardless of an individual’s actual power within society to impose oppression onto another minority group any person will grab at the opportunity for an ego boost. Grown adult individuals from various marginalized groups within the United States have gone out of their way correct my pronunciation, or suggest that my ID is fake, or just treat me like I’m a naive/illiterate little child in general. It must be projection or resentment since my appearance apparently doesn’t match the widely accepted narrative of what a Latino person “should” look like. This country’s relentlessly cruel bootstrap profits-over-people philosophy has genuinely driven people mad, they are all relying on spoon fed stereotypes and misinformation to fill in the blanks about each other. I don’t remember people acting this extremely obnoxious 10 years ago. A toxic paradigm shift has thrown us all into a horrible 21st century rendition of invasion of the body snatchers. Have so many American cities been robbed of their cultural identity and humanity to the point where all people feel they can do now is join in ostracizing anyone who doesn’t force themselves to code switch or assimilate to the perceived dominant “culture”. It’s literally become the matrix or the episode of spongebob where everything in the future was spray painted chrome.
Even the Popeyes buildings have been anglicized to mediocrity. Why is Popeyes a grey box now? Where’s the syncretic creole architectural design complete with orange paint and intricately ornate black metal balcony railing decorating the exterior walls? I guess 2020 shook things up so much for people that they’re now too exhausted to bother speaking up about how ridiculous this all is. and they think this is how life is supposed to be now that we equate blandness to safety and stability. Such a shame- the brainwashing that has gripped our world. People have truly accepted in their minds that if a stranger is kind to them then it must be a trap or a scam. Many Americans do not know what war looks like but they do not know peace either, because they have been stuck in a state of heightened suspicion their whole lives, always assuming that everyone around them is trying to compete with them.
A similar post- hurricane gentrification situation has been happening in tampa and miami, fl as well. Since 2018 tons of people suddenly moved into south Florida from red states and they had the nerve to start calling the Spanish and French Creole speakers “foreigners”. My god, what did they think they were signing up for when they moved from Massachusetts to a subtropical tourist state? You do not even have to know any Spanish or French to live comfortably here, but they get mad just because they hear other languages spoken in the background. The new residents who moved down here from up north seem to be very wasteful, impatient, ignorant, and disrespectful to the historic culture and the wildlife/environment. That is at least my perception because my standard of acceptable behavior is I guess very different from theirs. At the end of the day I suppose people need to stop being mad at each other and start being mad at these banks who stole from the working class after the housing bubble crisis. It’s amazing how ordinary citizens who do not even own any significant amount land or assets think they will be to get by as long as they overwork themselves past their physical and emotional limits but keep mentally subscribing to the investment bankers’ rat race trickle down economics propaganda. The vultures who swipe up the properties and rent them out at outrageous cartel-like price fixed rates (after the established communities are displaced due to climate disasters, threats from new residents, and/or home insurance rate hikes) will be reaping what they’ve sown when the working people -who have had no choice but to bounce around relocating to new cities all over the country to find a new home since covid - finally see that in reality we have nothing left to lose but each other.
may you find a sense of family in your community soon. I have always felt very welcome in southern Louisiana, where my family is from. blessings to you, Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, Meg thee Stallion, Puerto Rico, & any one who has read my dissertation on the fall of an evil empire. God bless
The costs to upgrade a community are recouped in the resulting inceases in the cost of housing. It also increases property values because its not a ghetto any more. My old neighborhood in Los Angeles was gentrifide. It's better for my dad because the neighborhood is a lot safer AND the value of his home skyrocketed. In every game there are "winners and losers". It all boils down to how one positions oneself in the economy. Renters are usually at the bottom. Strive to own and you'll be better positioned to weather storms.
The same thing happened in my neighborhood. 15 years ago, the city came through and demolished a lot of structurally unsound homes, sold those lots for $1 and provided no interest loans to people who wanted to purchase the remaining homes and renovate them. Many of my neighbors purchased their homes for $15,000 and did most of the renovations themselves. The neighborhood is still predominantly black and now there is a thriving small main street 3 blocks away with mostly black owned businesses. Long time and generational residents have greatly benefited as the neighborhood is a great place to be, to raise children in, and the people who weathered the storm have seen an ASTRONOMICAL increase in their property values. Capitalism is what it is. There will always be winners and losers. Those who take chances are usually the ones who get ahead.
did the crime go down? sorry have to ask
Of course it did.
It did, a little, but there is no way to stop the gangs from invading these neighborhoods and doing crime without a pro-active police force.
"Here comes the neighborhood"
So,.....The complaint is, from what I understand, is that folks are mad that these neighborhoods are becoming clean, rebuilt, and businesses moving in as a result? Homes are being renovated instead of being allowed to fall down around the people living in them. I get that people want and NEED affordable housing. I am disabled and living in a RV on my Mothers property. But seriously folks, you can't blame others for making things BETTER lmao get a grip.
This notion by WWL is also racist against black people because it assumes that they can never do better.
Blame is a victim's game. Prepare to buy a block of cheap property right after the next Katrina. No more economic self-victimization because poverty is usually a lifestyle!
Amen!!
You must not been listening becoming better should not mean being priced out
@@benjaminingram4857 That's the dumbest argument I've ever heard. Yes It does. Housing prices are determined based on value. The better the property condition the higher the price goes. Condition is everything. Go watch an episode of zombie house flipping and learn.
My version of New Orleans washed away when Katrina happened,my city will never be the same again 😢
actually new orleans was changing way before hurricane katrina.....alot of the stores that we had loved to go to back in the days were long gone....
Katrina was a cleansing.
Why does she need vouchers?
exactly.... why are WE paying for her housing?? seriously. why? She looks healthy enough to work a second and third job. We all can't get a nice cool apartment downtown new orleans. so if u can't afford it then move where u can. it's a big place down there. go where u can afford to pay ur own rent. why are tax payers footing that bill?
They forget the people who were good and follow all rules but now can't afford to stay.
Ah, the joys of free market capitalism. If it is not illegal, go on and do whatever the market will bear. I no longer live in New Orleans and it pains me to see it evolve into what it has become. People sitting in the gentrified St Roch Market sipping macchiato while folks are being gunned down blocks away. We have similar gentrification where I live but fortunately there is less to ruin. Recently our mayor and his lackeys celebrated the construction of an apartment building which was "AFFORDABLE"!.... $1600 for four hundred square feet with almost no windows and no parking. This is in a town with a 24.32 % poverty rate. This trash heap of a building looks like what the Fischer projects may have looked like the day they were built. Except they were actually subsidized. It's happening everywhere but it kills me as re New Orleans. And for all you boosters, stop with the bullshit about the inevitability of it all as if it wasn't the result of multiple forces some of which can be controlled.
Yeah… it’s weird seeing the city now. No one was born in New Orleans anymore. These new folks are like clones, or robots.
This is a non-story and a non-issue.
Cost of living will continue to go up while wages will remain the same the mathe ain't adding up thats what the people need to argue this next presidential election 2024 👀🤫💯
New Orleans was screwed up before Katrina and it wasn't just about housing issues.
Working class of every color are priced out. Common in many cities. WWL why frame everything through the lens of color? Create unity, not division. Many are struggling rn
Working class? Where? In the hood the vast majority of the men are unemployable criminals. They aren't working anywhere. The women support them but I don't understand why.
There is nothing unifying about pricing people out.
why do you dismiss black people issues evrytime?

🤯 @6:22 ~ She’s not very intelligent, I guess. And she views everybody is victims, well “some“ people are victims. Nobody came in and took the homes, they bought them from somebody at a fair price, they fix them up, they made the neighborhoods better, brought in business and opportunities, and so the price goes up. That’s not stealing land.
Why do blk people hate gentrification? My grandmothers neighborhood over time became hood and run down and now she lives in a beautiful gentrified neighborhood and her home looks great and she is way happier! Its not taking away from the culture its beautifying it! Not all Change is BAD! I pray the community breaks this mindset of not wanting to move forward in Jesus name!
Because they livin that thug life preserving the "culture" of poverty, government assistance, crime, and blight. They more worried about dancing at a 2nd line parade than they are about improving their community.
your uneducated go be with your colon freinds
When yt people gentrify a neighbourhood, the prices of everything in that neighbourhood go up. Real estate, food, medical care, education, legal representation, childcare…everything. But the wages don’t increase, and the folks that were already there before can no longer afford to live there.
Cause they miss their getto
Gentrification is meant to destroy the culture and lives of so called black folk. While it is meant to cater to white folk
Only doubling? They should count their blessings. Seattle's average housing price in 2005 was $260,000. In 2024 it's $664,000. Housing prices everywhere have gone up.
Wish they would repatriot a lot of the Katrina refugees back to New Orleans from Houston. They've really turned some nice neighborhoods in Houston into the ghettos they left in New Orleans. Rick Perry who was governor of Texas at the time should never have invited them here after Katrina..
New Orleans: one hurricane ruined me
Miami: Cubans exist.
The lack of economic development expedited the process. It could not be more simple.
Yep. Mismanaged city by mostly black politicians sent corporations with high-skilled, high-paying jobs packing after Katrina.
Sounds like what is going on in Galveston. It is intentional.
So my Mom grew up in the seventh ward, right next to Jaeger's seafood. For years we were there for Christmas, t-giving, visiting all the time, a neighborhood that surely changed black. Nobody cried about it, just accepted it. Now it's changing back, and somehow it's a problem?

Being a single parent got played out back in the 80's, nobody cares about that anymore. it's a negative now. in fact should be ashamed to use it as an excuse. seriously, that's a personal problem we don't care how many kidz u poppin out raising this is business. that's just an excuse. if singing is not enough money, then get another job that is. or get a 2nd job that covers that shortage. or take a trade that'll pay what u need. nursing or something. or move to a more affordable place. pretty sure, there are cheaper places to live where u don't need to be downtown new orleans. Louisiana is a big place. if u can't afford it then move where u can.
And the crime/murder rates plummeted didn't it?
For a while.
Hate to break it to you all. But there aren't any "black neighborhoods". Blacks in the U.S. ecspecially the south were country folk. They were on the plantations, then when they were free they lived in the sticks until cities crumbles during the great depression. The neighborhoods are returning to what they originally were. Sorry y'all, but it's back to post 1865 River Road. It was a good run while it lasted. But keep voting Democrat, they'll help us one day...right...hopefully...na

New Orleans is definitely not New Orleans. I do hate the culture is disappearing and it’s become a bland city like other cities in America- that should have never been the case for this unique city. New Orleans will of course never be the same as Pre-Katrina. For those of us who grew up then, we have to be grateful for those sweet memories♥️

It's like any major city. People without the means want to live in the best places.
Who wants to live in an area that's going to flood again anyway. It's stupid.
Unfortunately, for a city to move forward, a certain demographic has to move out in order to make the area more livable and cities to afford to prosper
Let's see. It's 2024 and my life sucks under the current administration, so I'm going to vote for more of the same.
There are affordable places to live in N.O., but not in the FQ, Bywater, Marigny, Uptown, but people want to live in these areas because they are nice places now. I want to live in the FQ, but I can't afford it, so I live in Gentilly.
I'm a survivor hurricane Katrina I was one that actually had to be rescued to come back to the city and try to live with very hard for me and my family but I have family that still live there the city has been gone down way before hurricane Katrina the crime rate has always been up but it's even more worse now that there's no curriculum for these kids there's no job opportunity for the adults there's no education and a system that lack understanding and knowing that I slave traits still exists in the city of Louisiana especially in New my child is a victim of being shot up in a drive-by shooting just by taking a dog outside which was the city has yet to answer any questions about that have not found any potential person of interest I was left with just knowing that I was able to still have my kids still to this day and I thank God that weit's unfortunate that families that do live there have to go through this on a daily basis they are shooting and killings on everyday every night and our kids are getting younger and being the face of just retaliation for someone else's conscience and the dirty decisions that they just choose to make the city mayor give zero f**** about what's going on and I see that pleasantly the city councilors gives you a f*** about what's going on and I see that humbly this city is dangerous there's no hope even though our friends and families do look at the city and feel like there is

Are you freaking kidding me? Do you know that Neighborhood used to have Italian people living in it. So I guess blacks gentrified it from Italians, and now whites, or whoever, are doing it again.
Did you also know that foreign born Black people who immigrate to the United States do much better than American born Black people? Maybe it’s because they come here and they have a drive to succeed and I don’t feel like they’re going to be a victim because of history.
