Posted by BILLBKLYN on Mon Nov 10 02:40:24 2025, in response to Re: List of NYC middle class neighborhoods, posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Sun Nov 9 20:47:10 2025. In my neighborhood it was first the Chinese from the Hong Kong area, who spoke Cantonese and were "middle/working class around 1980. Each year, there was a slow but steady stream growing and houses were still in the 50-80K range (if you could believe that) Then, around 1984ish Britain said they were giving Hong Kong back to China. This opened up the floodgates of Chinamen who made houses go up, up, up! The whites that owned sold for a premium (aunt and uncle sold in late 85 for 250K , unheard of, and bought a McMansion in western NJ with the money. The whites who rented or got married and wanted to buy in the neighborhood got priced out. Chinese Mafia bankrolled lots of them. |
