I learned a lot of this history when i used to grind uber day in and day out. It’s really eye opening because it’s a different world when you compare neighborhoods that are so close together yet so different. Great love for you to make this
Incredible name and incredible doc! Much consciousness raising is necessary around the issue of gentrification, and in places like Gilpin, Wynwood, White Oaks NEED tenant organizations to defend against landlords and police.
This is amazing work! I myself have grown up here my whole life and only recently started really researching the historical impacts of slavery, Jim Crow, the Byrd Machine, and the resulting systemic issues like redlining, overpolicing, and the persistent anti democratic tendancies of county and state government. We're moving in the right direction but the penny still hasn't dropped for a lot of people on historic/systemic issues like this.
thank you for enjoying it, i appreciate you greatly! thanks for taking the time to comment and spend time watching, it was a really eye opening experience putting all of this together. i’m glad it reached you and possibly helped in your journey!
I saw the first bit of this on Reddit, I enjoyed the contrasting perspectives on the different topics presented in this episode.I look forward to more for you .Great job!!
11:32 of course they are worth less. why would you pay the same for a more run down neighborhood with higher crime statistics? look at a crime map any given day, the nicer neighbor hoods might have a car broken into while the worse neighborhoods have gunshots and robberies reported daily
hi thanks for commenting and watching! actually, I don’t think this statistic was based on run down neighborhoods. it was based on black majority neighborhoods with the same set of opportunities as the comparative other race neighborhood. it’s a good question though, why is crime concentrated in certain areas in the first place i wonder?
Dude that statistic mentioned nothing about crime. The only variable it presented was the racial makeup and you just put forth that the reason was crime. I don't know any way to read your comment other than you just assumed black equals criminal.
@@0sm1um76 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! yeah hopefully there’s no confusion on that basis. my intention was to be as clear as possible, because i know it’s a bit of a murky subject, and to use only sources that were universally accepted as credible. thanks again!!
If the housing is worth less 17% then isn't it the loan 17% cheaper to get as well as yearly taxes being 17% less? How is that a bad thing in the 'here and now' for someone who wants home ownership today? Long term growth of home equity issues are there for sure but short term there is a strong argument that it affords more opportunities for people to own a home... maybe I'm missing something?
@@lk29392the part you’re missing is that many Black families aren’t able to move up in the world because they’re not getting good returns on their housing investment. Yeah it’s great that I can go into that neighborhood and buy a house for cheaper, but the old lady selling it isn’t getting her worth.
I found this on Reddit grew up in Richmond partially but this was really good. Keep going, bro.
