Lol, you are such a little bitch that I’d be willing to bet that you would have been too scared to live in East when I bought in 2016. The fact that you continually lie and misstate what I said is amazing. I’ve literally only called the cops when I see people shooting outside my home or hear shots fired at the park. That coupled with the people dealing drugs in my back alley parking pad. But please continue lying.
To be fair, you were too scared to live there without calling the police. You moved into a rough area and then called the police regularly on people that were living there before you doing things they'd done before you lived there. You used the police to gentrify your neighborhood. You are the little bitch.
Nah my guy, everyone on this board would call the cops if someone was shooting outside the house. You are lying if you say otherwise. I didn’t gentrify shit.
You literally just said you called police bc people were dealing drugs. Iirc you posted pictures you'd taken of them.
I took it as the out of towners (from Bakersfield and the like) who were there in their RVs. Morro Bay itself is alright I thought. Then again, I haven't spent a lot of time there.
Yep, drugs means guns and shootouts as well. Maybe deal in your own house or somewhere else besides my parking pad where there two cameras.
i don't know what the previous convo was exactly, but a MBer buying a house in a transitional urban neighborhood and not thinking he's gentrifying is just
your presence (and others i presume) is what's gentrifying the area. you don't have to be the developer yourself ...
We saw the cameras, tape recorders, and the monitors They eying us (Nas yo he survived one from the fo'-five) Pull the shades down, he seen his last days now There's no way now, we can be treated just like a slave now Two in the dome, he's laid down, aiyyo the bitch is saved now She's living in a snitch grave now
not at the new rate for rent/ownership/property taxes, maybe ... and it sounds like you'd be the type to call the police on them as well. and that's the point, you are totally gentrifying the area. which i don't necessarily hold as a Scarlett Letter, i am in the same situation myself in Charlotte. i just do my best to, ya know, not be a dick about ...
I was only there for a day but we kayaked across the bay out to the beach. Really cool ecology there with the seals and otters etc.
Why that assumption? We need to better manage our low incoming housing. There is a section 8 duplex directly behind me that has had working families in the whole time, not drug dealers. I don't care about it because it doesn't increase my odds of being shot. I even gave the guy a 2-year-old lawnmower that was crapping out on me for him to fix and sell. He runs a car repair business.
I think weed should be legal. There are a group of lincoln tech guys that smoke weed under the trees of Eastland Park every day and I pass them by while jogging. I don't care about that and honestly appreciate that they don't do it by the kid playground of the park anymore.
every Californian I’ve met recently that has moved here are all red. All saying they are glad to be here because things were just getting “too weird” back home. there are few things that scare me as much as a California conservative.
The mechanic is white. I don't have a garage, the tools, nor the knowledge to fix a lawnmower. Another incorrect assumption.
People are allowed to be complicated everyone, Nashville Knight can be a pos on some topics and also kind and giving in other circumstances
I visited Nashville for the first time last month and here was my take away. I heard, going in it was a liberal city (at least by voting). While I had a good time some things just stood out. - it’s a ‘Facebook’ liberal city. By that, I’m saying it appeared to be a place where people would say whatever they want to fit in with the in crowd at the time. It was in the height of the upswing in covid. Almost wish I didn’t even go, but me and the wife wore masks because it’s so normal for me at this point. We very much were in the minority. - Broadway is a fascinating place to watch people. This isn’t an endorsement of the area, some cool local joints but you also realize Kid Rock’s bar is packed as fuck with chuds visiting or horrible locals. As always, you trust the bartenders at local dives and ask them for recommendations. - its SUPER segregated and seems to have a higher amount of gentrification than even the two major cities I’ve lived in (Portland, Oregon & Omaha). Lots of cool neighborhoods but you also feel you’re about 2 blocks from Karen’s taking over the block. - the music is absolutely great (if you ignore stuff like a cover band playing Kid Rock in Kid Rock’s bar. Holy shit was that a facepalm walking by, lmao at actually going in), and I imagine if I knew the city you could really find some awesome stuff. - we stopped in some antique shops outside the main city and I felt like I was in rural Nebraska. You could feel the eyes looking at you, knowing you weren’t from ‘these parts.’ I can’t imagine not being white in some corners. - you also found pockets of super authentic areas that make a city special, I hope these can survive. - it should never hold another USMNT qualifier. - I also bought boots and a cowboy hat so I’m guilty as well. Enjoyed visiting, but can COMPLETELY see some of the points in this thread. It’s not shocking the place is becoming a hub for these kind of people. The startup I worked in, I ended up quitting because the ceo was exactly that and ended up moving the business to Nashville before fleeing to the Philippines because it didn’t work out. Took people’s money and basically milking it for self-gain.
fair enough, i don't know the background of what was going on prior like some others ITT. but other comments lead to me think you believe your presence in the area is not without consequence to longer term residents (ie, your statements on the HPRs, as if there is nothing happening there that ties you in to the situation). i think folks in our position need mindful of what our presence means, and when possible take some initiative beyond that (attend neighborhood/zoning meetings, fight for affordable housing options, not be overly aggressive about calling police for things that have been passable in the area before we arrived). it just doesn't help to deny you are part of the gentrification process IMVHO ...
