- Tampa is a city rich in its diverse history. Neighborhoods like Tampa Heights and Ybor City are ripe with African-American culture, but thanks to urban growth in Tampa; those areas do not look quite the same as they once did.
The bigger the city the bigger the price tag.
They are boxing in the working class family into shoeboxes. Every decade we the working class people get less and pay more. Smh.
Gentrifiers may be self-centered and annoying, but I have never been robbed or beaten by one.
As a Latino, I have no issues with gentrification. I rather have safety over diversity.
I live in Riverside heights which we also call Tampa heights I'm so sick of these f*
Implying gentrification is just a problem for African-Americans. It's deeply affecting all races, and not just residents living in poverty.
Remember God loves you!!♥️
The nicer a community gets the higher the cost to live in that community will be. There is no free lunch thier is a cost to improveing quality of life.
The property tax system is the culprit
Property in Tampa was dirt cheap for decades. Some of these people have been here for decades and multiple generations. At no time did someone in their family say maybe we should buy a house? Since there’s ten adults in the home , if we all worked a job and put a few hundred towards the mortgage we could have secure housing situation.
Its strange how they can proudly complain about demographic change in their neighborhood when others cannot.
So much of Tampa needs to be rebuilt. So much of it is rundown and trashy. It's time to clean up
REDLINING is what makes gentrification and urban renewal possible. Basically zoning a neighborhood “unsafe” just because a person of color lives,works or even travels down the street constantly in that particular neighborhood. Once they label that area “red” the property value determined by the banks , the city and other key players takes a dive ! Then they can buy it all up for cheap and sell it high, creating an artificial market. The suburbs failed and they can’t carry there own weight due to how out spread they are built, city’s need density and new infrastructure for new residents to support itself thru tax money. Its not as innocent as some want you to believe! Systemic racism IS the root to this problem. How can a house be worth more or less solely just because of the owners skin tone???? Again redlining!!
Disney is pure propaganda
Time to work 😌😌😌
Welcome to Florida.
Just wait. Tampa Bay will be the new San Fran Bay
Please stop using Hispanic as a racial term, because it's not.
Good 'ol market capitalism at work...
