Reagan said it the best. Government isn't the solution, it is the problem . Nyc and San Fran are the cities with the highest rents. These are the same two cities that have the highest rents in the nation and have the most govt regulations on housing.
And also alot these ppl get these nice apartments but once they in they destroy these buildings hangout letting there kids play in the hallways etc like they can't keep nothing new, new and that's a fact I've seen it with my own eyes and it's sad
Same thing happening in the Lehigh Valley. LV housing prices attract NY and NJ folks because it's more affordable. Therefore, rents here have skyrocketed. I am 56 years old and having to live with a relative until I can figure out how to be out on my own again. I sold my home in Easton in 2020 during the pandemic to move away for love. Now getting divorced and back here in the LV where I was born and raised. Biggest mistake of my life was to sell my house.
Startin to get the Sanctuary picture. The NYCHA negligence together with a super surplus of cheap labor secures poverty. No moral superiority just superiority.
What they've done to the Bronx in terms of forcing current residents out is disastrous. There's a really nice building in the Fordham section of the Bronx, close to Fordham U, the minimum income requirement is 80k and the monthly rent is $2200 or 26k a year. That 80k for a single occupant is more like 60 k after taxes. The income guide lines should be based on NET income , not gross. NO ONE takes home their gross so why are we basing income guidelines on earnings we never see. I make about 70 k a year and after taxes and garnishments, what I am left with would make anyone sick to their stomach. There is no "affordable" housing in this city.
That is steep, but for a single person, id recommend getting a roommate by flexing it out. However a person making 80k can reduce their tax burden by investing in a 401k.
I lived in Mott Haven for the past for 2 years & I can honestly say, the nonstop construction in this area is critical in supporting Gentrification. It's sad to say. In 5 years time, we'll see that Williamsburg level of hype.
It also depends on the area if things are near water fronts oh yes thats money for developers to make high risers and add stores and shops specifically for that neighborhood . Gentrification also brings exclusivity let's not forget that part also
Luxury meets rip off......So basically the developers have run out land in Manhattan & Bklyn,Harlem, so the Bronx is all that's left. I saw an add just last week for a new "Luxury" high rise in the S. Bronx off 149th/G. Concourse...$2k per month for a studio.....Sadly we live in a society of "Build it and they will come, so the folks will pay it....
This area of Mott Haven is towards the waterfront. Not further in the neighborhood where it’s much rougher in comparison. About a mile away from this area is where the opioid and fentanyl epidemic is really taking shape.
@jordancarson if they could gentrify and turn Long island city from a pimp and Prostitute area to new heights then mott haven and in the surrounding area where the opioid and fentanyl epidemic are taking place can definitely be turned around as well . Hell look at Harlem on 125 and even on the side of central Park in Harlem there's nothing but drugs and crime but the area is still drawing in people same as mott haven lol they'll clean it up .
That's true but just like Brooklyn and Queens before it, those tentacles begin to slowly reach outwards. When the construction in this area started, it was primarily along 3rd Avenue, right off the 6 train. It stretched towards the waterfront over time.
Nyc has raised rental assistance by double digit percentages in the last couple of years. Check out how much cityfheps vouchers went up. You are not well informed. 🤭
I'm a senior who lives in public housing. Without such access, I'd be homeless. At my age and medical condition I am much too old to go back to work and could never accumulate the type of monies landlords are demanding nowadays. With the continued aging of the population, the government should build up subsidized housing to accommodate seniors and others who cannot afford to pay these new rent rates. The government is quick to send billions overseas to build up nations, especially those at war. It can use those same monies here just as readily.

Right. WTF happened to Pelham Bay? I'm in Morris Park for over 32 years, I grew up in Inwood. I know hood...and I see it happening VERY quickly where I am. There are some new buildings being shoved into Eastchester Road and I KNOW what that's going to lead to.
That’s why the SODA program sent NYC folks to Newark & The Oranges, until the dilapidated conditions of the buildings were exposed. The big change will hit when fewer landlords accept those on housing programs and whispers begin about privatizing nearby NYCHA.
It has already started in Brooklyn. NYCHA buildings are being purchased privately. I’ve been wondering how long before they give us notice about leaving.
Bronx is cheaper than all the boroughs except Staten Island. There is a lot of new housing stock already constructed or being developed in the Bronx. I've noticed many of the new buildings have "affordable housing units". I predict these certain landlords are developing and renting "affordable" for now because in due time those tenants will be swapped out for Jim the Gentrifiers coming in droves and the buildings with amenities or near train stations is where they will concentrate. Also note new Metro North stops coming to the Bronx and how that will transform the areas around those stations. Sad times.
I will say this…if you’re buying property to fix and sell, for a business, or just a house….for the morris park and parkchester areas in the Bronx…BUY NOW, because once that metro north station project starts getting built and finished…prices will skyrocket. Prices are insane now, but wait and see after that train gets built.
Metro North is going to ruin Morris Park. The state/city couldn't just put in the train station. Now it's going to slap up hundreds of apartments, shoving people into a low density area. Yet my basement floods every time there's a downpour.
@@bkhustlernot the point. Since all of this building has starred, this has become an issue. A street collapsed on Radcliff due to this. The city cannot keep slapping up these buildings without fixing the infrastructure first.
I hate the Bronx with a passion. I’ll be so glad to move to queens or Brooklyn. And when I do move, I’ll never look back at the Bronx ( no shade ) !!!!!!….
Boy, Mott Haven has really dramatically changed. No one in the bronx us against development and investment in the area. And these buildings really do have a good mix of income, but the reality is that's just not enough housing available, specifically for the rock bottom incomes the poorest families in these cities are working with. Thankfully, the Bronx also has a large stock of rent stabilized apartments, and people got the memo about not trying to move out in this housing market.
Of course lala the flight attended disagrees😂 being shes a flight attended im sure shes a single person who can afford the affordable 1 bedroom… we talkin about familys not being able to afford not no single person cmon man😭
It's very important that we have as many poor people as possible in NYC. We must do all we can to make sure as many poor people stay in NYC as possible.
People in the comments belittling the Bronx and degrading each other’s borough. NYC as a whole is a dump, most of u just like to fight against each other instead of uplifting one another smh
Gentrification hy definition means " to transpose unworthy people with better stock,aka ' the gentry', they build a hip hop museum the same way they build a native American museum, to memorialize what they will erase
I lived in Mott Haven and developers were able to easily take advantage of a very vulnerable community. Their is no presence of unity in that neighborhood as everyone is trying to meet ends living paycheck to paycheck. Mott Haven still has the highest level of poverty within the 5 boroughs and most likely in the state of New York. I remember how one specific block was practically bought out to rent for a specific demographic as the new landlords placed housing rules to tenants that they had to show sources of income regardless. This impacted the undocumented and elderly folks who had lived for years and most probably were on top of their payments only to be forced to move out.
But WHY do these folks live paycheck to paycheck? Perhaps the choices they make - single motherhood, teenage motherhood, absent fathers, an odd focus on getting locked up or knocked up as a teenager. The South Bronx was not always like this. There is a ghetto mentality that needs to stop. Take responsibility for their actions instead of finger pointing. The undocumented don't belong here. They should all be deported. This city is spending way too much money and resources on people breaking the law. They are taking from the elderly and disabled.
I remember this area very well. Sad to see all these new buildings going up, but not for the people who struggle in the area. It's brings others out of towners with their ideas kicking long time residents out. The Bronx is not the same Bronx I knew growing up. I am glad we had all that space growing up but wished there was better housing back then without high price rents. People are in top of each other. Maybe they should've build affordable houses over buildings. Just a thought.
If the rent is set for $100-$2500 monthly, it will still be unaffordable to some who have no jobs, no profession, or those who just don't want to work. How can anyone fix that. Do we really believe that there's some kind of job available for everyone in this country? I definitely don't think so.
I refuse lol not conforming to the rat race there’s always a different route to make the money happen ! Instagram & stuff makes ppl have no morals at all
Yes. It is what one has to do to survive. If one does not want to run themselves ragged by working 2 jobs; then new skills are required so that one can do better financially.
This lady Carla knows many people do have to move as this "progress" unfolds. Nebraska or Tennessee etc. Phoenix has this and Po Folk here have to Move to Texas and New Mexico etc.
New investment is flowing to the south Bronx because East Harlem has been so resistant to new investment. If East Harlem won't play ball, the south Bronx will.
Left the boogie down 11 years ago, purchased a house in Atlanta and then another rental property a number of years later. It is so much affordable here, but things are catching up just like everywhere else. You can never truly escape inflation forever, you just have to beat it or slow it down as much as you can. As much as I miss the Bronx, it is all part of the growth to move up or move out. I choose to move out for better quality of life.
Yea gentrification it's not forcing poor people out jajja how a person who earn 750 # a week can afford 2600 apartments next thing it's you out of the apartment 😂
Keeping rent at 30% for everyone isn’t going to work for everyone. How is a person making 30K a year suppose to afford a one bedroom at 2k a month when they are probably making at least 1.6k per month? I make about 52K per year and I can’t even afford a one bedroom. If rent is capped at 30% the max rent I’m supposed to be able to afford is 1.3k per month. Thats more than what I make every two weeks.
One of the most progressive cities in the USA. Maybe there should be some self reflection when it comes to policies you support that has unintended consequences.
Even in Philly we have a crap load of new luxury apartments only a few people are well off to afford it. I’m not sure who in the heck they are building these $2500+ apartments for. Maybe people with 4-5 friends/family to pay for it.
Spent over 20 years in The Bronx back in the 90’s to 2010 and am shocked that The Bronx is finally gentrifying. It was a horror show when I was there. Still have a family apartment in Morrisania…which is not gentrified at all.
Then Bronx is too dam crowded with all these new buildings they making parking has become a nightmare. Traffic jams everywhere. 20 years ago is was more easier to get around in the Bronx not anymore
This has been happening ever since President Clinton moved into an office in Da Bronx...Then Magic Johnson brought in a movie theatre, stores started to move back there, ec. It's been going on for years and now PIX11 caught wind of it????
Overpriced Luxury housing that will rot on the market. Working class folks can't afford this. And the market will crash just like it is in Harlem right now.
What about a neighborhood that wasn’t considered rough or ghetto, where many working class people live without the crime element, there’s a couple of such neighborhoods, Morris park, van nest, country club throggs neck were considered good and somewhat still the case, how do you gentrify a good neighborhood, riverdale is a place that is too rich for the gentrified crowd to invade.
Some people have had a really good deal of sub market rent. These neighborhoods only became affordable because good hardworking people had to flee decades ago because of crime that government didn't take care of. The criminals got rewarded by getting low rent and other people also got a good deal. Now it's finally changing for the better and reparations from this success should be paid to the families that had to flee their homes because of government neglect.
The Bronx is changing but it wasn’t great I lived there from 2013-2023 and I think the higher prices will get rid of the ghetto and ratchetness that were part of the reason for my move to Staten Island . No dramas in SI

What about a neighborhood that wasn’t considered rough or ghetto, where many working class people live without the crime element, there’s a couple of such neighborhoods, Morris park, van nest, country club throggs neck were considered good and somewhat still the case, how do you gentrify a good neighborhood, riverdale is a place that is too rich for the gentrified crowd to invade.
White people ain't moving to the Bronx it's absolutely wildest in some parts, unless they're from Riverdale or Fordham. 😂
the bronx will never get gentrified. way too many projects
Brooklyn has a lot of Projects as well and Manhattan. SMH
Who is "they?"
Stop gentrifying other states.

Some people have had a really good deal of sub market rent. These neighborhoods only became affordable because good hardworking people had to flee decades ago because of crime that government didn't take care of. The criminals got rewarded by getting low rent and other people also got a good deal. Now it's finally changing for the better and reparations from this success should be paid to the families that had to flee their homes because of government neglect.
Idc what it is, yall voted it in😂
The Bronx is changing but it wasn’t great I lived there from 2013-2023 and I think the higher prices will get rid of the ghetto and ratchetness that were part of the reason for my move to Staten Island . No dramas in SI
I'm sorry but nobody wants to move to the bronx....
