I was born and raised in the Bronx ,was born 1939 ,lived on Beaumont Ave & 187th street my parents two bedroom apt. was 38 dollars a month , I recently did a little research and learned that the same apt. Now goes for about 1650 a month. I remember my mother carrying on about how the landlord wanted to increase the rent by two dollars a month. Times have sure changed,

If u gonna move to Da Bronx... become part of the neighbor hood u move in.. don't move here then complain bout da people who lived there for years or probably their whole lives... don't look at people like they don't belong on da block u just moved on.. n remember UR DOG IS NOT A PERSON!!

Its great Bronx is getting exposure to the public domain. However, in the coming years the prices of affordable housing is going to skyrocketed. One example is those who lived in The Bronx for 30+ years are being pushed out by private companies and landlords will hike up monthly rent just to stay with the means of competitive markets. The city says we have affordable housing prices at $40,000 however, constituents who live don’t make it past $21,000 annually. Now we have the Jerome Ave rezoning project that connects Yankee Stadium to Kingsbridge Armory that will be renovated to a new skating stadium. We will see a-lot of gentrification and a lot of corporations auctioning new developments in the Bronx. Apparently we don’t come first as they promise.

I live in the Bronx and I love NYC, but sadly this video does not highlight that it is gentrifying very fast. the snip-bit of South Bronx and its ranking along with Mott Haven being compared to Williamsburg/DUMBO, its dangerous-we have our own culture that resembles much of Brooklyn's in the 1990s and 80s. We don't want substantiates to come and take our homes that are already loosing money. Its the best place ever but its a place we call ours with all of its flaws. Thank you though for showing how nice the Bronx is an how often its just as crowed as Manhattan.

My husband is from Grand concourse and 170th and I am from Bushwick, which we definitely can't afford. People are upset about the gentrification but I always said before gentrification happen to these neighborhoods. What were the people in the community contributing? Nothing! Most of these people are in welfare, not trying to better themselves. The community is always dirty with garbage all over the floor, high crimes and horrible schools. It's hard for me to sympathize with these people that won't be able to afford the Bronx but for some reason, these same people can afford $300 sneakers, red bottoms, $2000 bags, weed, vacationing and constantly going out.

I recall when nobody wanted to live or visit the Bronx or Brooklyn now It's the hotspot and I'm sure long lived families in those area are feeling the crunch of high rents

When I left The Bronx in the mid 1980's, it wasn't a great place to live. While the rents have skyrocketed, I doubt very much has improved. As for the people, don't miss 'em at all.

When you live in a village a lot of personal things go on because these people congregate together and have their own culture. But outsiders say. They can run your community more efficiently. Without family discourse and group issues to make a more harmonious and sanitized environment.
