Reply to comment by cleancutmover in Black leaders are developing Nubian Square. Can they revitalize the economic heart of Black Boston? by bostonglobe

The people who complain about gentrification are the ones who will never live or even visit these areas until it’s gentrified. I love seeing the wokest people I know complain about rent when they could just move to Mattapan, Roxbury, Hyde Park and save a ton but won’t ever consider it….until it’s gentrified.

I worked with guys from Dorchester and Roxbury. One day I mentioned what the rent was ($1500/1 bedroom apt) for a unit we had just been in and they were shocked. It was $600 where they lived.
