I'm confused about your confusion.

I've lived in LA man and the same tacos you paying 3 dollars for cost 1.50. The cost of tortillas ain't rise that much. Especially, for something that's easy to make.

Central Americans are deep in DC. But I'm not with the premium on pupusas and tacos here on the east coast. Ain't no taco worth 3 dollars.

Eh, Black people can still be cultural gentrifiers. Especially if there's an education gap.

I don't debate anyone about gentrification itself cuz that's gonna happen. It's more about how you move within a community when you're there which some white and black people have a problem doing with respect.

I'm talking macro here but I mean that when you make cities hyper centralized those people on the outside are more marginalized. In NYC it feels mitigated by the existence of public housing but those areas feel sequestered.

And then the start busing in the rich kids right outside of the projects like they're doing in LES in NY.

State capitals are also a good look. I'm a keep it 100. I'm not trying to live in the midwest.

I mean…all of those places are hubs of industry formerly or currently. I don't know many other places where black people would congregate because the industry isn't there. It has to be somewhere strategic like Newark, Oakland or Ft Lauderdale….need infrastructure and the ability to entice chance takers. Nobody moving…

I'm not with hair salons…but what other time of hood businesses are there? Most private businesses are like that.
There's chains that cater to the hood. Every hood has a MetroPCS, HR Block/Liberty/ and a McDonalds.

Affluent people aren't going to move to poor neighborhoods. You gotta make poor neighborhoods decent. Not even nice. Just decent and things could improve.

I don't know. I would say PG county and Baldwin Hills but that's been done.

It's just on the hill above Crenshaw and Inglewood. It's not bad or anything. Just Black Beverly Hills still ain't Santa Monica.

Culver City ain't bad tho.

Good poor school? What's that?

Do upwardly mobile people really care about poor people? Also, upwardly mobile people can afford to not be a group. Which hampers the mobilization effort.

I been in "Westfield Culver City" how was it when it was just Fox Hills?

Basically, to live in a "hood" you have to commit to having your children go to the schools and you have to deal with the public options there. People aren't gonna do that if they have money, even if they're "of the community"

Real talk I think the growth of these super cities is going to kill "poor people living in city centers thing" its about to start looking like Brazil out here.

Anthony M gentrifiers live in Atlanta and Charlotte.
