They move to immigrant enclaves, like my friend, who was priced out of Park Slope.

This friend moved out to the largely Mexican part of Sunset Park. Left NYC, came back, and now she's in Bensonhurst.

I live in West Indian central, and now some of them have begun to find their way out here.

Some of who have began to find their way out there?

The Russian areas, and the Orthodox Jewish areas, tend to be cheaper as well.

Have said it time and again. The Jews run real estate in this city. Every landlord I have ever had has been *Jewish*.

Bushwick is an example.

Many go to more affordable cities within the Northeast as well.

No, gentrification isn’t making NYC less diverse | New York Post

We're seeing some neighborhoods/parts of the city become more diverse, but others become far less diverse. Back when my family first moved into Prospect Heights (around 1999), the neighborhood was around 85-90% black and Latino, with a small Bangladesh community in the NE portion of the neighborhood. The other 10% was non-Hispanic white or "other" (mostly "other"). Today, the population is closer to 85% white it seems (I can count how many black people I see walking the streets of the neighborhood today), with the remaining 15% being black, Hispanic, or "other."

That said, there are still many parts of the city that are affordable (whether section 8, rent control/stabilization, NYCHA, etc.) for many who are getting "pushed out." Being pushed out of one area doesn't necessarily mean getting pushed out of the city.

Having written all of that, many people we know who have been pushed out of certain areas, etc., moved down south or further east into Brooklyn/Queens/Long Island (or even into the Bronx). I find it laughable that many (mainly whites) who fled the city to parts of Long Islands earlier on to "escape" changing neighborhoods are now having their neighborhoods be swamped by people getting pushed out of the city due to higher prices

I get your point but can't just lump in black and Latino like that
