Rob Green What can we do?? buy up the property first and redevelop it for the community. Simple really, I’m waiting for everyone else to catch up to understand. Capitalism has no color. The only reason we see it as white and black is because the white have the money. If a group of black investors had money to develop new properties it would be the same thing and I wonder if people would call it gentrification
Practice group economics. Pool your money and buy a shopping plaza, an apartment complex, or a block of houses. Stop being a tenant. If you don't own anything you don't have a voice.
Never have truer words been spoken! I don’t get it, my grandparents came from the Dominican Republic and moved to New York in a building that was mostly people from the Dominican Republic. They were renting an apartment, when the building went up for sale the tenants collectively purchased the building and set up an HOA, they all OWN their apartments now and pay a few bucks a month collectively to maintain the building. I hear the whining all the time from San Francisco people “Ive been living in this rental for 50 year and they want to raise my rent from $3500/Month to $4200/Month its outrageous!” I’m thinking, jeez my house payment is $1000/month... and it’s my house with a fixed rate mortgage... nobody is going to raise the rent on me. I wish I had $3500/month to pay for housing 🤣 and the news wants me to feel bad for this “low income” person who can afford $3500/month rent.
This is very true my older brother bought a few large lots in Little Haiti/ Wynwood in 2008 totaling about 300k at the time. And today because of rapid gentrification the lots alone are worth 5M+ . I think the greatest hedge against gentrification in the long run if possible is ownership. The main issue is for many persons the entry level cost of home ownership is often far too high varying on the area and cost of living
its happening here in ft.lauderdale Florida to its not just Haitians its about being black,color or whatever u wont to call it but we have to keep fighting our father above have us
They have done enough in south Beach, now the sea rise against them...... Haitians don't need to cry for a bread, while they will have ownership of the whole bakery.... We know the nations are tripping, four corners.
Whether or not they build these apartments the gentrification will continue so while it is not a full on solution to the problem it's better than nothing because the majority of these homes are going to get replaced so either they have nowhere to go in the area or they can live in this affordable housing. The term is a little misleading because it's not going to be affordable to every single person but it's still cheaper than any apartments you will find on the regular market (with very few exceptions)
I've lived in Little Haiti and I am not Haitian, I am Hispanic. I loved my time there even and it saddens me that is is under the threat of a seemingly stoppable force (gentrification, private development, displacement of long-established communities). They will need all the help they can get to fight this, and even then it seems like the toughest fight they have yet to face. This is happening all over Miami :( Soon we'll just be a tourist destination and the history will be lost.
Little Havana is still the same only more Salvadoran people moved in. Little Haiti is up for grabs because Haitians live there and white people in nearby Midtown (which used to be black years ago) see them as a legitimate threat.
I'm born and raised in miami. I can tell you it's not the rising waters.. it's the rising population that is buying out more Nd more affordable areas to turn in to luxury apartments. The places on the coastal lines are just fine. Prices arent dropping. At 3mm rise a year, there is alot of time...
Where do all these rich people who are doing this to the poorer communities come from? Maybe the Liberal strongholds of NY, NJ... You would think they would be more sympathetic.
Would be very nice to see all the wealthy Haitians or Haitians in general to invest and build up back Haiti like their doing in Miami it's a quick reminder Miami is not really your home but some people believe in building someone else's house and that's not good
I am fighting the same situation now I own a condo they kept sending us a letter to sell we refuse now they are charging us $ 8000 for special assessment we need help
if I was them I wouldn't sell yet, wait till the shit really hits the fan in about 20, 30 years, those properties are going to be priceless. I wait till then and work out royalty deal.
That's assuming they will be able to afford the property tax that is going to skyrocket, also assuming they will be able to afford the price of the products sold there, water, electricity and everything they can now afford. Remember, that is a poor community most people live with the minimum wage if all those things increase they won't be able to afford and would have to move out, even if they don't want to sell.

Interesting fact. Not all white Americans are rich. We are working class to. And we are feeling the pressure of no affordable housing in Miami to. It's like I'm being told I can work in Miami but I can't live in Miami. It's really bad here in South Florida
I have nothing against Hispanics and their culture, however at the 6:09 mark of this upload there is a group of people taking a group photo behind the Magic city moniker and none of them are black or Haitian ...which obviously tells me there wasn't any envolvment or input being considered by the Haitian community..simply because it isn't their neighborhood and they know the majority of the people who are residents are not, or cannot due anything about it. obviously these people do not care about the Haitian community..
Stop isolating it to a specific culture, they are doing this to all black people everywhere, it’s always been open season for black all round this earth.
Why they even bother. The elevation won't help once the real hurricane season starts. They will need at least 10-20 feet elevation to be safe for a mild sea surge. When severe hurricane season comes, Whole Miami pretty much under water.
I have a sister that lives down there and have been telling her the exact same thing: it's only a matter of time! For those currently residing along coasts now is the time to start planning on moving.........time/environmental events are increasing.
this is from a black American the more they build these condominiums in Florida the more is going to sink ,,,, it's too much weight these people already know that s*** anyway
Predominantly-white millennials have gentrified much of downtown and inner-cities, driving up living costs for predominantly black locals who are then forced to move to more affordable suburbs. The resulting demographic shift has led to tensions between black and white neighbors.
The people here should talk to each other, find out how much their land is currently worth, go to the banks together as a group and say they want to sell at double the going rate. My guess, this climate gentrification will result in a whole lot of new multimillionaires walking out of the bank. Meantime, Miami looks destined to be the first city to go underwater, our own New Atlantis.
I used to live in lil Haiti. That magic city development is abandoned now it’s just empty. Plus that area is nothing but high violence crime and drug dealing. Trust me ALOT of murders
Nah, we're stronger than the Indians...and sadly, we were the only strong race to handle American slavery. We ain't never gonna be exiled. They tried crack, HIV, prison, sickle cell...to no avail. And every 5 seconds a white woman gives birth to black man's child.
Born and raised in Miami, little Haiti is in excess of 5-7 miles from our beach or ocean.. we miamians don’t see anything different about the sea level
I think this video is partially incorrect, people are moving there because of higher ground but mainly because wynwood is near by and it is a growing part of Miami so stores want to expand.
Developers better provide Long Term Good Paying Jobs and Benefits for the Locals. Also, include Haitian Small Shops into their Retail Spaces so the owners can continue with their business and gain new clientele as well. Lastly, Developers should contribute to More Affordable Housing Complexes for the Locals. Much Blessings to All Involved and Effected by Change.
So they're only going to allow people of Haitian descent to live in that affordable housing apartment mentioned near the end of the video? That is also a form of discrimination in itself, especially if you're low income and not Haitian.
This is how the homeless crisis we’re seeing now happened. Force out low income people to places they cannot afford to live to make room for “new development”
If and when the colonizers do their gentrification, just like how the ocean is evicting them from the ocean front. The sinkholes will get them when they move inland. Karma is real.
This is the once in a lifetime opportunity all the founding families of Little Haiti have to get out of poverty, get advisors & sell their properties at abnormal rates & move their culture to a different area where they can re-establish themselves with much, much better quality of life, education for their children, health care & more! Do not paint this as a tragedy. The reality is the man who received all those letters is the smartest of us all, “they pay small money & make big money”... once they pay him big money to make big money he’ll smile his way to his new home!

Growing up in Miami Beach my entire life watching this gentrification is astonishing.....I remember when Wynwood was the hood...
Robyn Ragone what's the hood mean
Wynwood is still the hood to some extent lol
Yep few years back nothing but empty buildings now its popping down there
i feel there pain i am a home owner and i get people who want to buy my home all the time they just don't stop no respect at all
Where do you live ?
@@chaosswa-ee-ty5911 I live in new jersey
Insane, luxury housing only for the happy few, what's wrong with with the system 😕🙏
Racist and its broken
Interesting fact. Not all white Americans are rich. We are working class to. And we are feeling the pressure of no affordable housing in Miami to. It's like I'm being told I can work in Miami but I can't live in Miami. It's really bad here in South Florida
I have nothing against Hispanics and their culture, however at the 6:09 mark of this upload there is a group of people taking a group photo behind the Magic city moniker and none of them are black or Haitian ...which obviously tells me there wasn't any envolvment or input being considered by the Haitian community..simply because it isn't their neighborhood and they know the majority of the people who are residents are not, or cannot due anything about it. obviously these people do not care about the Haitian community..
Stop isolating it to a specific culture, they are doing this to all black people everywhere, it’s always been open season for black all round this earth.
Why they even bother. The elevation won't help once the real hurricane season starts. They will need at least 10-20 feet elevation to be safe for a mild sea surge. When severe hurricane season comes, Whole Miami pretty much under water.
I have a sister that lives down there and have been telling her the exact same thing: it's only a matter of time! For those currently residing along coasts now is the time to start planning on moving.........time/environmental events are increasing.
I watched it happen in Washington D.C. - Baltimore, MD will be next
The native people was forced out, since 1500's
this is from a black American the more they build these condominiums in Florida the more is going to sink ,,,, it's too much weight these people already know that s*** anyway
I love Haiti and Haitians. My wife is Haitian and has a great family
Predominantly-white millennials have gentrified much of downtown and inner-cities, driving up living costs for predominantly black locals who are then forced to move to more affordable suburbs.
The resulting demographic shift has led to tensions between black and white neighbors.
The people here should talk to each other, find out how much their land is currently worth, go to the banks together as a group and say they want to sell at double the going rate. My guess, this climate gentrification will result in a whole lot of new multimillionaires walking out of the bank. Meantime, Miami looks destined to be the first city to go underwater, our own New Atlantis.

I knew that little Haiti was gentrified when they opened a panther coffee there.
where my zoes at???? i was raised there in da 90s
Time to run for a local office to have some say! I would bet not many are politicians!
Happened to Stamford CT.
That's how they did Wnywood. Happening to Little Havana, and now Little Haiti. Crazy.
They need to come together as a community and have a meeting. Talk about the situation.
This is a true sign we are going to experience a major market crash. For us rich people to buy up this land
How is it displacement if the people there are taken care of first
What would be the point of moving there if the rest of the city is flooded? If anything,they should lease out the land for big money.
I used to live in lil Haiti. That magic city development is abandoned now it’s just empty. Plus that area is nothing but high violence crime and drug dealing. Trust me ALOT of murders
This is crazy I live in Charlotte NC and we are seeing the beginning of this....or is this all a "Black" trail of tears?
Nah, we're stronger than the Indians...and sadly, we were the only strong race to handle American slavery. We ain't never gonna be exiled. They tried crack, HIV, prison, sickle cell...to no avail. And every 5 seconds a white woman gives birth to black man's child.
I was just about to say that!! Charlotte, NC has gotten ridiculous!!
@@lastshallbefirst5516 LOL
My childhood was spent in Lil Haiti 🥰🥰🥰 I miss home so much!!!! I miss the food.
It was white peoples neighborhoods first, they are taking it back.
Richard Florida :) and before them???
The entire west coast and Hawaii is facing this as we speak. Vegas is next on the list.
Born and raised in Miami, little Haiti is in excess of 5-7 miles from our beach or ocean.. we miamians don’t see anything different about the sea level
I think this video is partially incorrect, people are moving there because of higher ground but mainly because wynwood is near by and it is a growing part of Miami so stores want to expand.
So before the Haitian refugees come who live there?
407Khmer -Good point.👍
Haitians aren't the local culture Americans are the local culture
Developers better provide Long Term Good Paying Jobs and Benefits for the Locals. Also, include Haitian Small Shops into their Retail Spaces so the owners can continue with their business and gain new clientele as well. Lastly, Developers should contribute to More Affordable Housing Complexes for the Locals. Much Blessings to All Involved and Effected by Change.
So they're only going to allow people of Haitian descent to live in that affordable housing apartment mentioned near the end of the video? That is also a form of discrimination in itself, especially if you're low income and not Haitian.
why are there pics of Louisiana in this
they are doing the same in inglewood
Yes, even in Compton, it's just crazy......
Doing same shit in Nashville they were gentrify any way
Yeah like inglewood
This is how the homeless crisis we’re seeing now happened. Force out low income people to places they cannot afford to live to make room for “new development”
Terrible how when those with more funds want to take over an area...they do just that with no regards to the lives that are already there.
Stay strong Hatians....keep fighting....we love your strenght
If and when the colonizers do their gentrification, just like how the ocean is evicting them from the ocean front. The sinkholes will get them when they move inland. Karma is real.
Let’s not solve climate change. Let’s just *PUSH* Miami somewhere else
Real Talk
the bad thing is we cannot get anyone to help us
For any people that lives in Little Haiti What kind of resources do you need? To help out with the problem you have at this present time.
This is the once in a lifetime opportunity all the founding families of Little Haiti have to get out of poverty, get advisors & sell their properties at abnormal rates & move their culture to a different area where they can re-establish themselves with much, much better quality of life, education for their children, health care & more! Do not paint this as a tragedy. The reality is the man who received all those letters is the smartest of us all, “they pay small money & make big money”... once they pay him big money to make big money he’ll smile his way to his new home!
they doing this in TORONTO ONTARIO TOO
Did it to the Scotts & da Beans and now lil Hati
Why they doing that to my ppl shit drastic for them
This is happening here in St.Pete,FL.
The first problem is believing in white Jesus. No good can come from that. It says in the Bible "believe in me as the scripture say".
