>>7285214Fifteen years ago you could have bought a building in Bushwick/Bed-Stuy for $20k-$40k, substantially less in the 80's.
Literally eight thousand dollars down max at signing for a ten-to-twenty-fold return on investment.
The former residents had no wish to invest in their homes, and 'gentrification' is merely chickens coming home to roost. Trashing a neighborhood and squatting in it for fifty years doesn't make it yours. Sorry you missed the signs, bud!
