I still find it funny how people think these are the only two options that exist.

But Liberty Avenue has sick Trini food. Can't lose the aloo pies and rotis, what else am I supposed to eat for a hangover? I'd rather the gentrification skip everything between the border of Brooklyn and Van Wyck and just carry on in South Jamaica

At the same time, keep in mind that people's attitudes toward them often have a lot to do with wanting to distance themselves because they are too close themselves. People with significant wealth are actually more sympathetic. You can afford to be, perhaps - no pun intended.
No...all of them are not too close...you might be but certainly not everyone is.

And thats ironic because theres studies that show people with wealth are actually less sympathetic.

I saw a video on the NYC subway where back up for NYPD came so fast for ONE GUY but in this situation they are nowhere to be found.

Maybe not, but it puts it on the fast track to clear people out of these areas so they can move down south already. No need to delay the inevitable, these people do not belong here anymore. The city has become a much more desirable place to be.

That's fine. Most people can stay. Just thinking of swapping out these type of savages for out-of-state transplants or middle class suburbanites of any race.

Secular Asians from Malaysia open a bar called Fat Tuesday on Good Friday catering to Southern Protestants. People are wondering why there was vile behavior? Seems like standard behavior for those from this rural Protestant culture.
