City is growing but some peoples pay remain the same even with the increase in food, rent, gas and insurance prices

Warning warning warning. Walking anywhere in albany could get you killed or robbed or accosted by drug addicts. Please look at the crime statistic. We are in the top 10 lol, at least we got a score for something. If you are harmed you will get no help from police as they have been castrated by the Mayor,!!!!!!!!!!

Albany NY is ruled over by NYS government workers. Crime is high in this region. So government worker commute in and then immediately go back home. Why should i know? Im one of them and im literally sitting on my lunch break typing this out. There's some but not much to do in Albany and the surrounding areas. Meaning once you have done it all, you think that there is nothing to do and be bored. Clinton park halfmoon suburbs are the suburbs to be apparently and that's where i grew up and still live. Again not much to do, but plenty food restaurants and grocery stores. With Interstate 87 running in the middle, it's just a giant service area. For the most part, the area is affluent for two reasons....nys government workers and Saratoga race track. There's also global foundries in Malta that moved in a couple years ago.

It's pronounced Ar Vad Uh -- the second A in Arvada rhymes with cat.

sbojkcuf yenomkkccuuff !!!!!!!!

Check out Wheeling West Virginia someday.

Try Cumberland and Hagerstown Md someday.

I’m an Albany native and living in Troy for the past 20 years. I have been living car-free for the past 14 years. I walk and cycle most places and the CDTA (transit system) has amped up its game to include bike/ebike rentals and electric cars and you can get to most places in the Capital Region 1 to 2 buses. I still attend church in Albany and ride the bus there every Sunday. It’s affordable and from my neighborhood in South Troy it’s a quick hop to the Empire Trail to Albany and west to Schenectady and the Erie Canal ride that will take you to Buffalo. Geographically we are within reach of the Adirondacks and the Catskills and so many great historic places, museums, music/theater venues, etc.

Don't forget Chelsea, Revere and Everett, there is a lot of new developments

I used to live in Carrollton from 1988 to 2014 and Frederick Heights from 1985 to 1988 Amber Meadows from 2014 to 2016 and Carrollton from 2016 to 2021 and Little Brook Apartments from 2021 to currently I am still single in Frederick Maryland and I have always lived in Frederick Maryland.

And you have seen me in Frederick Maryland for almost 40 years now since May 22nd 1985 at 9:55 Am my first minute in Frederick Maryland.

The courthouse you showed was not built in 1862!😂

Affordable to WHOM??? Residents are concerned about law. This vid really gives MUCH fluff, and is poorly not so accurate -- just opinion.

It looks like it sucks to live there. The apartments around the national stadium look like college dorms next to a college stadium. They're kids living 5 people to a one bedroom studio apartment. They made DC look like an idiot college town. It' looks like MTV rock the vote. It used to be cool when black people lived there making gogo music banging on buckets and trash cans. Now it's the Ikea Furniture Capital of the world. It doesn't make sense. When thinking of DC you used to think of antiques and food like the fish market in old town alexandria across the river. Now it's goofy. Now Napoleon dynamite took over and it has a goofy political vibe like a high school vote for pedro election. There used to be a higher sense of education. Not like harvard business schools, or harvard law school because those are kind of asshole educations. Smithsonian, and PBS was high art and high education. DC used to have the wholesomeness of PBS. There used to be a dignity that goes beyond money or laws. There was a natural sense of what the right thing to do is, and doing a good job.

a $500 dollar a day lifestyle in nyc!!

Anyone complaining about Gentrification could have bought before 2016 pretty cheaply. We bought on H Street making under 50K total. CNBC making it showing folks under 50 also buying in Shaw.

Many smaller cities keep the street cars/ subways OUT of the universities because they do not want people from the inner city to have easy access to the university and the adjoining neighborhoods.

I lived on 106 and Amsterdam Ave in the 80s and love having access to local and express trains and a plethora of shops and restaurants. BUT I also lived in Brooklyn Heights years ago and boy has that area blossomed!! The Promenade is now an afterthought with the opening of Brooklyn Bridge Park. Just amazing what they've done to that neighborhood and what they are continuing to add! If there was any neighborhood I would call home for the rest of my life it would be Brooklyn Heights. However as I got older I've come to love Bay Ridge Brooklyn. Ironically it was an area I absolutely avoided like the plague and now as I've gotten older, I love it! 😊❤ Thank you NYC.

Great video! underrated

Lols, gross

hahahaha i think you caught footage of me walking along H street!

3:45 and 4:38 nooo why do they allow this?!

What’s so interesting about a lot of this redevelopment…it’s that it’s simply development. A lot of these places were simply empty land…..after having been destroyed in the 1960s

The revitalization was needed but a lot of the architecture is just plain ugly. Boston does a much better job of medium density housing with out sacrificing design

Great video. But it fails to mention some of the major gentrification that took place on the North Side several decades ago. The west side of Old Town is now a very nice area to live in, but was once quite dangerous due to nearby Cabrini-Green. And before the 1960's, Lincoln Park was a run-down Puerto Rican neighborhood, and it gradually gentrified into the posh neighborhood it is today.

From 70 to 85 st it is great. After that it is not interesting at all. Would I trade it for Noho? Never. Can I afford south Manhattan prices? No

Its crazy that when I was in College in Vermont (in Burlington, largest city there) I was spending $600/month for a 3 story house with 4 people living there. Moved to Boston to start my career, now I'm paying $1300 for a cramped 1 story apt w/ no deck or patio with 3 people living there. I hate cities with a passion but I do need to start my career somewhere.

I’ve live in Broward county, which is directly north of Miami. Me and my people generally stay outta there cause everything is becoming so expensive. But gentrification is like a virus and it’s spreading to Fort Lauderdale and surrounding cities and it’s pushing the long living residents, who are generally minorities and people who are not “well off” out. Shit sucks

Whoever made this video doesn’t live in DC.

Cleanliness and space while valuable are not the most important metrics by which to judge the adequacy and effectiveness of a public transit system. Timeliness, safety, interruptions to service, and cost are much more important.

I love all of New York. The 6 visits I’ve had, I stay at the St. Marks in the east village. My favorite neighborhood ❤️

Gentrification is a good thing

Lots of love for DC

This is my hometown!

What a take on gentrification for a channel named Cities for People. Don't take us wrong, we haven't seen all your videos and don't know what you exactly stand for but this was striking line for a first video from this channel. Bit disappointing, but keep up your hard work. Success.

My dad is from Barcelona and moved to Boston, where I was raised!

The issue with gentrification is not the ‘inevitability’. It’s the DISPLACEMENT that doesn’t preserve or renew for generations of residents. They get pushed into communities where the gentrification doesn’t seem to expand to or spread. Like Brownsville and parts of East NY. Zip codes 11212 and neighboring areas.

You literally gave zero reasons why that's a good neighborhood what a terrible video

DC SUCKS, smells like poo and overpriced everything

Metro is underrated because a) it's over-priced b) it's inefficient, and c) it's poorly run. Locals know this. You left the part out where Shaw/U Street declined due to ruing in the sixties. Some of those old businesses had been closed since then. And you're obviously not a local, as you left out Ben's Chili Bowl.

I've been living in Miami since 2018. Great weather and a cool metropolitan area, but it's just entirely too expensive. Rent even for piece of sh-t little apartments is out of control. If you make less than 80K expect to live like a starving artist.

Marc train only runs certain times on weekdays. It’s not very good. It’s there but it’s almost unusable due to its limited schedule. And the busses are Maryland busses: full of crackheads. I wish public transit was better but it isn’t

It’ll all be underwater soon enough. 😂

Those little houses being $1M are too expensive, it's ridiculous really. they should be 150-300k

It's been unaffordable for the past couple of years now. I fucking hate it. I hate this place

The biggest lie of gentrification: “affordable housing”. 2500 a month is not affordable, just because the other units are 4000.

Dude, you clearly never visited Cincinnati!

Lots of friendly drug dealers on vine😂😂😂
