Really touching point. As a white male in his thirties that has grown up in a rural farming area, turned rich cottage country, I take a lot from the it.
Its a nice idea to re-enter your old neighborhoods. I tried it. A lot of housing in my home town is in shambles. A friend of mine invested in the stock market for a few years, made some $ and then decided to buy houses, fix them up and rent out. We did our best to do right by people. We listened to every type of sob story. We were robbed many times by freeloaders, houses were broken into a few times. After about 2 years of turmoil things were looking up. Had good renters for a while. The neighborhood what just looking brighter! Then one day a local gang did a drive by through the neighborhood and shot 3 black dads in front of their kids, specifically black dads in front of their kids. I was one of them. I was the only one who survived. I heard later that it was a part of gang initiation to do that. One man was arrested, was caught on camera. I left and never went back.
Re-entrification is a nice idea, until you get a bullet in your back from people who don't want things to be nice. There is an element in these cities that want it to be that way, it is how they make $, it is their source of power.
born and raised in London but as a 22yr old it's impossible to buy a house there
