This is quite a good article, it doesn't deny that the gentrification has had some positive aspects, it also highlights some of the issues about the surrounding neighbourhoods and older residents.

An entire loving building for $425k. And here I am wondering how the gently caress people buy an entry level single family home for $700k in California.

See if you own that $700k double wide in California you don't get to lord it over anyone

But back in Cleveland you get to play fancy person and sip wine, wait gosh these people think I'm a pretentious doof hmm maybe if I put the wine in a can..

It would be easy to paint Veysey as a young guy out to make money by kicking out some gays and drug dealers, bringing in the usual yuppie fixings and rebranding a hovel as a haven. It’s especially tempting when Veysey unreservedly talks in Millennial-speak: Holding a concert on 29th Street isn’t an event, but “creative placemaking” with “radical inclusiveness.” Considering leasing to a chain store here isn’t a business decision, but one about “fitting into the narrative of the neighborhood.” And Veysey isn’t just a gentrifier, but a “conscientious gentrifier.”

In Buffalo, there's a district called "Larkinville" where a rich guy built a giant office complex in the middle of a dilapidated neighborhood, and bars and restaurants opened around it to support the thousands of employees who work there.

Guess what happened when the city dared try building a homeless shelter within a few blocks of the new hip area:

http://www.buffalonews.com/city-reg...orhood-20130822

quote:

The project also may have faced some opposition from within the neighborhoods nearby. Larkinville, in particular, is within walking distance, just across a bridge, and developer Howard Zemsky has been working for years to create not only a successful office environment but also a lively community to the east of downtown. His flagship Larkin at Exchange Building is fully occupied, and he’s turned his attention to redeveloping other nearby buildings for a mixture of office, retail, restaurant and even residential space.

When the project was announced several weeks ago, Zemsky said he was surprised at the proposal for the City Mission as Swan Street is “relatively disconnected from other support services.”

“We would want to make sure this potential project is done and managed in a way that complements the continued growth in the surrounding area, and is done in a way that considers the recent investments made here,” Zemsky said. “We actively manage our properties and provide an excellent tenant experience. We’re certain that will continue under any scenario.”

Never got built.

how did they ever forget about the millennial w/ beard who thinks they are cool, esp when they grow it extra out for 'Movember'...oh how sly, pls die

edit: i guess those came out in 2k12 though which almost kinda makes their shameless marketing somewhat respectable i guess for being ahead of the curve.

I have this bar of irish spring "signature for men" soap that's MAN SIZED SOAP FOR A MAN'S HANDS but it's like, just call it a big rear end bar of soap that will last longer that's why I wanted it not because I was worried small bars made me look gay

to be fair, as far dwellers in burned-down cities go, millenials are probably the most manly of all. they take care of their kids/dogs, they can hold down a job, and they don't beat their wives/girlfriends. sure, the bar is pretty low in these neighborhoods, but still...

I find the same with cars actually. Guys who drive around in beat up old cars and don't really care have always been way more attractive to me than some twat in a brand new car that they got on a lease or whatever to impress people. They don't have anything to prove and are generally much nicer people. Speaking from personal experience, anyway.

Well yeah, being a man is being loyal to your friends, responsible and loving to your family, and honestly caring about your community. But the media says that you have to shave with the sheer edge of a spent bullet casing to be a man, and some people don't realize that it is all bullshit hence the MAN PRODUCTS

Mandles are actually a thing but the story is pretty cool, some kid wanted to make more masculine scented candles out of tin cans and gave all of the profits to charity. Wish I could find a link to the story.
