Here comes gentrification

 


 NY Post

There’s a new contender for the hottest borough in town. 

A report released this week by listings portal StreetEasy predicts that this year will see Queens beat out ever-trendy Brooklyn in terms of residential interest. 

“Queens will reign supreme in 2024 after a record-breaking year for the borough in 2023, as both renters and would-be buyers looked farther from Manhattan in search of more affordability,” begins StreetEasy’s “10 NYC Neighborhoods to Watch in 2024”  survey, which lists the New York areas that saw the largest increase in searches on the website from buyers and renters between 2022 to 2023. 

In first place is Ridgewood, a Queens neighborhood adjacent to Bushwick that offers comparatively quiet, residential vibes and a median asking rent of $3,000 — 8% less than Bushwick’s median of $3,250. 

Ridgewood is one of five Queens neighborhoods to rank in StreetEasy’s top 10, with others including Jackson Heights — which is famed for its wonderfully diverse food offerings, from Indian to Tibetan — Kew Gardens and Woodside. Ridgewood saw buyer and renter searches rise by 10.7% from 2022 to 2023, showing its surging popularity among locals looking for a home. What helps in that end is the neighborhood’s collection of restaurants and bars, as well as vintage stores and art galleries.

I'm packing my bags and moving to the great red state of Florida. I hear there's a "brain drain" going on there. All the people with an IQ over 100 are leaving.

And it's still going to be third world crap. Pay 3k for rent to live in a dump. Just sickening

Ridgewood, a Queens neighborhood that offers quiet, residential vibes?
Who wrote this piece of shit the NLS corporation or some real estate company?

I'm from Ridgewood, Seneca and Norman street.
A place where its impossible to find a parking space, circle the block for 45 minutes only to return to find your car stolen or broken into.
Walk 5 blocks on Myrtle Ave and not hear one person speaking English, hip hop music blasting out of lousy store fronts.
All the cool mom & pop stores are gone, now corporate bullshit. Mexicans making spicy hopped up pizza at Joe & Johns and what left of Coratos served dried up & reheated from a glass fridge or rack.
What the f_ck is that?

Worst 2 things about Ridgewood is it packed so tight with people (like London) with all these huge flat apt building's is the 104 PCT is NYP retirement home incapable of keeping order, only interested in parking ticket revenue, you cant own or park a car, let alone 2 trucks and a car.
Now a days almost every home houses 3 or 4 rentals of people who don't speak English. Even in Glendale walking around Cooper ave almost all you hear and see is Spanish and brown people who will stare at you as if to say "What the fuck are you doing here"
Ridgewood is a good place for clueless trust fund hipshits who don't have real jobs or need cars, content staying put, smoking their dope, walking to the store, climbing stairs or riding the M train to the Bohemian scene in Williamsburg.

That article was no doubt bought a written by some real estate entity looking for trust fund brats who don't know any better.
I'm guessing the NLS Real Estate listing cartel who's been jacking all the rents and listings nation wide to make the commissions. They now impose buyers and renters premiums of 7-15% which I say should be illegal.
Isn't Monopoly and organized crime still illegal?

Sure enough just as I expected like NLS Zillo mob did out in The Hamptons and places like Riverhead, Mattituck, Nassau Point, Southold.
They have big cash and will pay off politicians, councilmen, town attorneys and supervisors too!!
Now the gunsights turn to Ridgewood-Glendale

This article is a by design advertisement from Streeteasy's parent company ZILLO.
Since the Zillo mafia now owns Streeteasy no payola was involved, the editor and fiction writer gets "the order" --and this crock of bullshit promo and propaganda becomes legal.
Summery:
Its all to drive residents out and bring in new people willing to pay more money like they did in that illegal immigrant & bar & restaurant infested cesspool called The Hamptons. Zillo fucked that area up real good, now all rich weirdo's, Manhatten restaurant owners and entertainment industry freaks looking for cheap off the books $3 an hour illegal domestic, restaurant and landscaping help.
Nobody that actually gives a shit about quality of life outside their 8 foot walls and shrubs.
One big congested mess with the poor and nasty illegals living 10, 20 to a room, in garages, cardboard boxes with septic latrines hidden away out of sight out in Springs. In the morning and late night the contracted pink cabs and Tuna vans move them like rolling crates of crawfish.
The NLS and Zillo is no different then the old Mafia
