This is very true. It's a shame many people don't realize this.

I so desperately want the Bronx to prosper and turn that corner. To me gentrification represents a new begin (something the Bronx needs) a new flow of people, a demographic change from poor to financially stable middle class folks. The hood culture that has and still does plague the Bronx would be a thing of the past.

Tired of seeing hood people "chillin'" outside conducting themselves in a loud, unruly and uncivil manner. To me, gentrification will get rid of these type of characters just as it has in other parts of the city that were formerly "hood".

To me, gentrification represents the cleansing of a neighborhood by removing the riff-raff.

So there you have it folks, at the end of the day my motivation for the Bronx gentrifying is NOT money but peace and quiet. Is that so much to ask?
Do you think you will still be alive when it happens and you will be able to see it?

Well at least there is some improvement going on. And why not when some pretty bad parts of Brooklyn where in the past nobody thought there would be improvement are also seeing positive changes.

Why does that idiotic HilltopJay equates lower income people= automatic criminals.
Do you realise that most of the Bronx population are decent people that might be priced at too.

The irony of this is that Hilltopjay is probably a descendant of dirt poor trash migrants the same one he despises

The way you post suggest you are as disgusting and classeless as the obnoxious Ghetto rats you claim to hate.


Truly pathethic

I like the neighborhoods around Pelham parkway and the areas south of Van Cortlandt park.

A large portion of the liberal elite make up the 1 percent. Liberals are not any better than those wealthy waspy folks. Sometimes I often find liberal especially elite types very two-faced. This country needs more middle ground people that can understand things at multiple spectrums.

It is very clear that soon everyone in New York City will be making double the median income of New York City.

Spot on. The middle is being eroded while the two ends get more polarizing. Not a good trend for our Republic.
