What do you mean by "kick out"?

You mean, buy property fair and square, and move in?

Actually, the 4th ward was home to the original Italian immigrants in Houston, not the 3rd. In fact, to this day, much of the property in that area is still owned by Italian-Americans. The 3rd ward has pretty much always been a traditionally Black neighborhood. MacGregor was the original Jewish neighborhood, before they moved West to the more well-known Jewish neighborhoods like Meyerland and Fondren SW.

He's a real high class citizen. He has an open thread about sleeping with other guys girlfriends/wives.

PhD in trollolololing.

Maybe making such "judgmental" "personal attacks" will close the thread.

I don't know about jews, but white people are moving back to riverside terrace.

"More than 20 years later, it’s the whites and gays who are moving in and facing similar opposition from the blacks who remain."

You all have to remember as the inner loop is gentrified and the schools slowly improve. The suburbs will get many of these poorer people and their schools will degrade. When the suburb schools start to get bad enough the richer suburb people will flock back to the city. End their long commutes and send their kids to private schools or schools in more expensive neighborhoods.

You also have to take in to account the massive amount of people who are supposed to move here. We are supposed to grow by millions. Most who move here will be young professionals that support engineering and oil. Most young people with money want to live in the city. I would say less than 5% of my friends want to live in the suburbs.

Then there is the transformation the inner loop has had in the past 5 years or so. The amount of new bars that have opened. All the new amazing restaurants. The extensive work they are doing on parks. All the work they are putting into downtown. There are massive developments going on. When neighborhoods like Oak Forest and Garden Oaks get too expensive gentrification will find a new place to develop. New construction in Garden Oaks can already break one million. Montrose and the Heights are already really expensive. New townhouses are 600K in Montrose.

It sucks for the poor to have to move. They now live in a nice area, but paid little for their homes. If they want to stay in the city, they have to move back to a poorer area. But there is the rub. They now live in a nice area, but don't want to pay the price. Their house has increased 5-6 fold. I don't feel that bad for them. Most residents jump for joy when gentrification happens. A few complain because they don't want these old pile of crap homes leveled. It is what it is.

The poor are not moving to the suburbs as far as I can see, they are simply moving outside the loop.

Nice agenda though. Maybe if you keep repeating the same thing over and over again it'll be true.

You have to remember Shumacher here is an inside-the-loop houston booster. His retirement depends only on his property value going up

Yeah when the avg home is 400k but the avg income is 80k it makes you wonder.

Unless CD is lying about Montrose.
