Poverty moves to the suburbs

[THE DRIZZY]

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-36957439

First of all thanks to all who participated in the thread I had about big box stores not like being in black neighborhoods.

As far as this topic goes, it has been happening for years as the central cities have been becoming gentrified and rebuilt for young professionals and the well to do. Once well to do suburbs are becoming poorer.

I will chime in later about this, because I can speak on some of Chicago's suburbs but I have to step out for a few hours. I know my Chicago area fam will chime in by the time I respond again. I am interested to hear about what is going on with suburban areas in other cities where BGOL fam live.

Yep some of Atlanta's suburbs have become projects with more living space. Especially on the South Side.

Crazy that there are very wealthy suburbs on that same side. The middle class is really disappearing....you are either very wealthy or very poor.

 

[lightbright]

gonna be like that everywhere …. you just watch n see ……

Yep and it’s not us this time who are poor ones. Yeah doing Obama years everything was all good but Trump just screwed up everything why you think most of them went running to the Democrats last week

It’s always been there. Folk get these bug cribs with no furniture, and the house has a shit load of delayed maintenance issues.
Moving in the parents to help offset the mortgage/rent

And like I said it’s not just black people those white folks are going through a tough time

"The bite" does not discriminate, only its victims do.

Yea the City and Suburbs are reversing

Yea the City and Suburbs are reversing

Them long ass commute times into the city where tax dollars provide the most resources are soon to be long gone.

White folks taking the cities back and dropping prices in the burbs where black folks and other ethnic groups have flocked too.

As I'm reading the article on the black family featured, I'm thinking, where are the men?

Two related Sisters and their mother in a two bedroom place and it's seven of them in total!! WTF!!!

Where are the men??? Where are the male providers??

Their situation 100% avoidable.

Women make more than men these days, folks cant sit on the absent men excuse anymore.

I feel you Fam, I'm just saying some male support would be better than none. Doesn't matter if the man makes less.

The suburbs is the new hood and city is the new suburbs

There is also instagram money phone hood rich as well. There is a in between

Maybe in the lower class. Middle class. But upper upper upper class.....is still dominated by men. This why WNBA players need to make more money

A man aint gonna want to be in that situation 9x outta 10 where he "helping" a bunch of folks out. I'mma hold the women accountable as well. A smart man in 2018 has to ask what is a woman bringing to the table. Women playing their cards right either have a man, or dont NEED one.

Tried of seeing grown ass black men riding skateboards like they are free spirits to ways of life begging for change

Get a job

that's not really true, and looking at the break down, under 35 years old, women earn more than men

Culturally, most black women have contempt for black male leadership and see having one in their household they have to acquiesce to as akin to slavery. I say let them enjoy the freedom of depending on white corporate structure and government protect, provide, and raise their kids in these 'hood' burbs the next 3 decades.

It’s been that way out here, Antioch has gotten worse though. Pittsburg, Fairfield, Vallejo all suburban hood spots.

Gentrification has been going on for nationwide for a second.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

The burbs are where the trash lives

Not everywhere there are some major cities they are getting darker. Atlanta is actually getting too expensive for some white people

I was just in Atlanta and Crackas are buying up shit on the West end. Cacs used to be terrified of going there. Soon cacs will be having block parties in the Bluff . Y’all need to kill a few of them to keep them out.

Damn! You really ARE a male feminist huh?

 

[Drayonis]

Shit all of Downtown Houston, especially 3rd ward?



You can't live there unless you got money

Gentrifi....cation has indeed been going on for a while now, nearing a decade I'd say.

 

[Dr. Truth]

These are the blue prints for what West Oakland will be transformed to in a couple of years.

 

[THE DRIZZY]

Keep this going ya'll.

 

[BGLR1212000]

A lot of these chicks on section 8 too, living in very decent neighborhoods and driving 2016 cars. Section 8 is a luxury a man will never have.

 

[gene cisco]

Shit. I know in NE Ohio folks seem to be moving farther out from the city. I know government moving the hood to the suburbs up here keeps driving the push. Folks never, ever talk about that shit. Seen these suburbs go from sugar to shit in 25 years.

 

[the_male_feminist]

Damn! You really ARE a male feminist huh?

Whats wrong dont you think women should have equal rights? Dont you want to eliminate toxic masculinity?

Dont you want to end rape culture?

Do you have a daughter or mother or girlfriend?

Men should also be feminist
