This is actually so many peoples’ lived experience. Just watched the whole thing thinking oh my gosh, she just gets this. Ullman has an exemplary skil for observing the nuances of class disparity. Her ability to pour scorn via humour makes the portrayal all the more scathing. Excellent.
Same thing is happening in Australia. Thousands of people on low incomes are having to move out of the cities or even larger regional towns and re-locate to small towns so they are the only places left with rents they can afford. Small towns used to be farming-based communities, now they are filling up with long-term unemployed, folk on disability pensions, mentally ill, drug-addicts etc. So many are now living in small, isolated towns many miles from the medical services they need. And the upwardly mobile city folk are only too happy to see them go. Small towns are becoming the new slums of Australia.
headoverheels88 umm it was unlivable before it was gentrified. It had rampant crime and run down public infrastructure before it was gentrified. And it still had high rent then too so don't try to argue that it was "affordable" either
@@LucasFernandez-fk8se Where & when? This is a sentiment repeatedly proven wrong. So called "unlivable" was the home for 10s of millions working class esp of color around this country. Anywhere from an eight year to 15 year block where communities saw drops in crime. Gentrification happens AFTER the fact.
Lucas Fernandez For us die-hards, we who will not be moved, the crime continues and it's landlord generated. Landlords make deals with drug gangs to harass and threaten tenants (the harassment is daily and relentless, far worse than before gentrification). If I weren't nearing retirement age, I'd leave too but there is no place to go on a fixed income.
these guys are really talented and on the money. gentrification is a scary reality. even central London has undergone gentrification, with cool, local shops closing down while insipid eateries like itsu and pret-a-manger are taking over.
This was Boris johnsons vision for London well done that chump. London is going from diverse and dynamic to a banal middle to upper class ghetto and the creativity being forced out. ... musicians, artists, designers etc and as the video mentions.. nurses, cleaners, waiters and so on. Needs to stop now before it gets worse like Hong Kong and New York.
brilliant, i'm a victim of gentrification, living downtown was the best kept secret around. then banks started buying everything up, the old homes scooped up at bargain prices, all the people renting rooms, some by the week kicked out, renovated and sold at prices only the rich could afford, my apartment building was bought by a bank, the rent doubled, they barely changed it, called the apartments "condos" and sold them instead of renting them. half the people moved out the next month. i remember when 9-11 happened, and all the talk about the 1st responders dying in a city they couldn't afford to live in. in the city i live now the only thing being built is condos, a dozen or more at last count. old neighborhoods being demolished for the latest mega priced condo building. banks are really doing well, wall street doing really well, corporate ass kissers and hedge fund managers doing real well in this gig economy where massive companies are running sweat shops, jeff bezos, richest man in the world and his amazon employees aren't given the time for bathroom breaks. we need a world wide general strike. bring these greedy fucks to their knees.

This is relevant in every major city. Affordable housing being torn down to make new “luxury” apartments. There’s nothing luxurious about their apartments.
Opinunate ted if you own a house in the area then I don't see why can't you stay in it at least until property values peak. Unless you live in England in which case I don't think they own many houses over there so then I guess it just sucks then
@@LucasFernandez-fk8se Owning a house doesn't necessarily put you in a safe zone. With gentrification, the property taxes will hike, affordable services in the neighborhood will decrease, and you will get constant pressure from developers (where this pressure can even get to a level of harassment) to move out or sell out you property. But again, the gentrification mostly happens in neighborhoods where people who cannot afford to buy a property live in rentals, so once your landlord is offered a better deal, you are out. Does the landlord need to care about low income people? Of course not, that's why we have affordable and rent controlled housing. Cities did and always will need people who work in the service industries and in jobs that pay below the amount required to live in that city. The solution is not pushing those people outside the cities and make them commute for hours. I bet last thing you want when you are in the ER are nurses who commute 3-4 hours each day, and this is just one example. Also the home ownership in UK (63.5%) and USA (64.5%) are pretty much the same so I don't think that comment is relevant.
@@aliyalaz8967 But if you freeze the prices, put the housing into a "middle income" gov program, you only hurt the next generation who when they try to sell mom's apartment receive significantly less than market value. Money insufficient to buy a house or apt..
My rent has risen each year in the last four years. It's eating a great deal of my income. I might have to move somewhere cheaper in order to stay solvent. I see gentrification as a real problem as rich people take over, and misuse their power. The culture of the "hood" is never the same. Praise to Allman!
Grenfell Tower - I understand that the apartments had old mechanical and electrical systems ripped out and new systems installed, but the old holes through the walls and floors were not filled in, therefore allowing fire to spread from apartment to apartment.

That is precisely why she is so " funny ". It is the truth she puts out there......George Carlin also did this, but he was not funny. The people who paid for his tickets, could not tell the difference between comedy and tragedy. They went for the " awakening" and it is better than anything else.
God, this is exactly what's happening to my neighbourhood. I've lived here since 1990 when I was a very poor teenager living on my own and supporting myself. We were all poor together, and we had a strong sense of community. Now? The people in the brand new townhouse at the end of my block have two, $5,000, designer cats. I don't like what's happening. The place is blowing up, with or without me.
I've been watching Tracey since the 1980s when she had a show on a new network called FOX and a 5 minute cartoon sketch called The Simpsons would appear on her show. I've never watched The Simpson since then but I've watched Tracey in every one of her TV incarnations. And now that Carrie Fisher is gone she's simply the funniest and smartest comedian on the planet.
The same thing is happening in my city. Places that 10-20 years ago were no-go areas for anyone who valued their life now have expensive apartments and green parks. It's awful.
This has been happening in Madrid for at least 20 years now. There are working class neighbourhoods around the center that turned into a massive party zone for tourists like Chueca or Huertas, inflating the prices massively and forcing regular families to move out because of the ruckus. You can see sometimes old people wandering aournd the streets there and clearly out of their minds, old residents who can't move out because they can't afford anything but an old renting house and have lived there all their life and way before their homes turned into a dedicated drinking zone. So yes, it's scary.
Problem is homes aren't affordable on a working wage. The expensive homes are often left empty for years. And the system discourages cohabitation. 40% people live a single lifestyle in the capital.
the answer is to excel in school, seek higher education after high school and don't waste too much time during your youth...in a matter of years, while others are beginning to reap the benefits of their education and sacrifice, it will be too late for those who are ill-prepared, cannot form a cogent sentence and inevitably join the (ever-increasing) rank of gentrification victims.

Genocide is the RIGHT WORD! I am in America and I still remember listening as a brother who’d went to the store talked to his sister trapped inside dying ! Similar incidents happened commonly in Chicago with families dying trapped within their homes! It’s was most common in economically deprived areas because of the areas being criminal havens! People would have bars and grates on their windows and doors! Whole families would be found unable to open them to escape! Poverty kills indirectly from the time a person is born from the quality of prenatal care to housing! Just as we appreciate the solidarity sent from the world don’t think that we’ve forgotten! Genocide is the correct word and don’t ever replace it just because the world prefers to hide it by labels designed to erase it!
Hilarious but sadly accurate. I live on an estate in South London threatened with demolition. The local council don’t give a crap - they’ve been trying to bulldoze and build expensive high rise, private housing on top for 10 years. While our council ‘representatives’ live in Victorian terraces with second homes in Kent, where would we go if their plans happen???? Honestly, wtf
Tracey can do anything. I love her. I got gentrified out of the place I lived for 10 years. It sucks. Now it's all baby's in strollers and yuppy businesses over there.
I live in Gentrification central, Shoreditch London. Seen from 1980's slum, dirty run down area that no one wanted to live to now all the way to 2020, clean, expensive, hipster central area.
Tracey's great, she has an eye for talent too... the actor's playing the locals held their own and then some. London is sadly slowly pricing locals out of their own neighborhoods with successive waves of encroaching gentrification. the massive influx of uncontrolled immigration without safeguards is also adding to issues. it's a real problem.
The problem is not immigration, the problem is property speculation, low corporate taxation and corruption in a government dominated by profiteers, property speculators and bankers. Look at all the empty luxury apartments in London. Owned by hedge funds and off shore property holding companies. There's your problem,
I really don't feel we can blame immigration. But the local councils forming alliances with companies like Lendlease who build luxury housing with locals being moved out of London. For those who live out of a city or town like London it's easy to loose sight of the fact they without council housing the majority of people can't make there rent without housing benefit. In places such as Manchester rents are although considerably lower still rising. London however is beyond extortionate with the price of a single room in a house share often the same as a whole hose outside of London.
Fun but true! Many rural areas have been cleansed of the working class, or poor, and replaced by rich people who drive expensive cars and commute to work! 🤭
It happened in my neighborhood in Helsinki. This is an old working class area east from central. Now it's full of fancy shops and price of living is up. I now have to move out somewhere far from central. In Helsinki the tram area is the hipstertown. So I can go live somewhere outside of tram area. The 2 lines of Helsinki subway go far east and the hipsters don't go to the subway tunnels. But the day will come that the hipsters go under ground and take a subway train 20 minutes east where I'll be living with all the immigrants and workers. I fear the day the hipsters come.

Perfect city planner costume down to the haircut and boots. Nailed the attitude and platitudes.
So good!
well executed!!
She blew them away...literally.
XD
Very revolutionary...
I live in Gentrification central, Shoreditch London. Seen from 1980's slum, dirty run down area that no one wanted to live to now all the way to 2020, clean, expensive, hipster central area.
fantastic, Tracey! funny but with a real message
Blowing up or burning down...
An entertaining and educational view on gentrification.
It's happening in my city too. I hate it.
Larry!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Ullman is brilliant.
Tracey's great, she has an eye for talent too... the actor's playing the locals held their own and then some. London is sadly slowly pricing locals out of their own neighborhoods with successive waves of encroaching gentrification. the massive influx of uncontrolled immigration without safeguards is also adding to issues. it's a real problem.
The problem is not immigration, the problem is property speculation, low corporate taxation and corruption in a government dominated by profiteers, property speculators and bankers. Look at all the empty luxury apartments in London. Owned by hedge funds and off shore property holding companies. There's your problem,
I really don't feel we can blame immigration.
But the local councils forming alliances with companies like Lendlease who build luxury housing with locals being moved out of London.
For those who live out of a city or town like London it's easy to loose sight of the fact they without council housing the majority of people can't make there rent without housing benefit. In places such as Manchester rents are although considerably lower still rising.
London however is beyond extortionate with the price of a single room in a house share often the same as a whole hose outside of London.
Blaming EU migrants again. Boring and predictable now.
Cambridge UK is also another example.
Amazing
Brilliant
Hey, it's Laurence Rickard!
That was absolutely brilliant. She should be on a lot more.
Awesome,
Terrific
Why is this not a chart single?
BRILLIANT!!!👏👏👏 FACTS!!!👍🏾👍🏾
P.S ...LOVE HER!💛
Fun but true! Many rural areas have been cleansed of the working class, or poor, and replaced by rich people who drive expensive cars and commute to work! 🤭
genius......im grinning ear to ear
It happened in my neighborhood in Helsinki. This is an old working class area east from central. Now it's full of fancy shops and price of living is up. I now have to move out somewhere far from central. In Helsinki the tram area is the hipstertown. So I can go live somewhere outside of tram area. The 2 lines of Helsinki subway go far east and the hipsters don't go to the subway tunnels. But the day will come that the hipsters go under ground and take a subway train 20 minutes east where I'll be living with all the immigrants and workers. I fear the day the hipsters come.
What do you mean Hipsters? Who are they?

Truth is both funny and tragic at the same time, doubly so in rap.
