Pricey townhomes and condominiums are popping up on what feels like every block. That means families who lived here for years are pushed out of their homes even faster than you might think.

Control your flood issue instead of building on every stitch of land you see.
For real!
Houston wants to become known as the Venice of Texas. I think they will succeed.
@@steven4315 😂😂😂😂
Unfortunately this is exactly what Houston is like. I'm a 46 year old native and I've seen this over and over. People always moving into a neighborhood and changing the demographic. Sometimes it's for the better and sometimes it's for the worst but it always changes. A couple of years a specific area of town will gain popularity and then it will eventually move to another part of town 5 years later. 10 years ago it was Midtown. 5 years ago it was the Heights, Montrose and Edo. Now it's 3rd and 2nd ward. It'll change again. This happens every time we have an influx of people from other states. Most people that live downtown in the newer properties are not from Houston. That's a pretty good way to determine how many newcomers we have that decided to make Houston their new home.
Yes you are right. I am not sure if we can continue to handle the surge of newcomers though.
@@Shazzy1228 I agree. I believe that bc of the increased amount of newcomers we are seeing housing prices and rent soar. It's bc they didn't know the baseline price before moving here and some investors, land holders and community management companies are taking advantage. That and the added expense of construction due to shipping issues and costs are driving up prices.
Honestly, I don't understand why anyone who knows anything about Texas would move to Houston. I live near Austin and we don't have the crime or rampant violence that you have regularly in H-Town. Seriously, I don't even visit Houston and I live in Texas. It's one of those "no-go" zones we talk about.
@@DIVISIONINCISION I'm native to Houston and I agree with you. It's not easy to live here. Lately we've been having local government problems too. I lived in Conroe for years and it's a lot more quieter but I was born and raised in the Houston city limits of Harris County and it was always a problem with crime but not just that, most people wouldn't help you if you genuinely need help bc they're afraid of scammers. It's sad that the people that are honest have to suffer bc of the criminals here and bc of the local government holding those criminals responsible for their actions.
@@DIVISIONINCISION because of the job market here. I know plenty of folks who stay in Houston just because of employment. Myself included. If I had my way, I would live in Hill Country. Its just beautiful there, but my healthcare job had more roles in Houston. Stuck here 😔😔😢
That’s the plan! They don’t want low to mid class people in that area. Just like the Heights. Those who own have owned their property for year… they’ll find a way to get rid of them. Whether it be double or triple property taxes, etc.
Yeah, back in the middle 80ths, I was not to Excited about a CRACK House 🏡, nextdoor nother....
The Heights is so overpriced its insane now. Yes its barely floods and its close to downtown, but these are tiny homes for high prices. They are also finding silly of calling nearby sections part of the heights. An area called Brooke Smith, between the Heights and Northside, is now being billed as Brooke Heights. 😒😒
Nate White sounds like you've never been excited by school
@@Shazzy1228 once the put heights or park to a name you already know the area is gentrified and they want black people out
Well, what can you say about that when you see all the crime gangs looting drugs drive by well sorry i dont want taht you live in capitalist nation that you support by the way you consume so it is what it is and I m not white or rich... I dont want any blacks in my area of living sorry truth hurts but again look at the attacks of latinos asian women on a daily basis.
It's happening in Harlem. East Los Angeles. Nashville. Roxbury. Nothing new.
In every major city across the United States.
A lot of us (black folks) need to take control of or neighborhoods.and the first line of defense is to stop renting.
Stop voting for people that only show up when it's time to vote. I know alot of dirt happening in the city. Black white brown it dose not matter. It's about power but to solve that we need to stop seeing color. Not to jab you in anyway. But where is Shelia Jackson Lee? She is black she only sees power and money and as long as she can keep people only seeing color and pull that race card to get you mad you will never be heard
I think you should look in the mirror. It's your culture that has turned Houston in to a slum. The truth hurts.
That part . And TAKE CARE of our communities
@@jeremiahanthony5521 Focus more on ownership of businesses and homes. It's OWN OR BE OWNED! That's the American way!
Exactly that is the way! When you rent you’re a sitting duck all this complaining when you dont buy
Born and raised here in Houston. 32 years old and cant stand the fact that these out of towners are taking over. I used to live in North Central behind Poppa Burger and man has it changed
Bash NS When I was growing up on Houston many years age, the majority of newcomers then were from rural parts of Louisiana and they were hard working people who came to Houston and made a better life for themselves. Most were good neighbors who looked out for each other and their community. Now it’s everybody for himself. Smh
@@deloresiles2341 yea sadly, thats just how it is nowadays. Ppl are selfish and dont look out for one another. Just the other day i wss at a store and opened the door for some girl on her phone, didnt even bother to look up and say thank u. Ppl are ilmannered and have no home training. All they care about is that dog on phone
The real estate developers are like sharks 🦈
Many of them are financially backed by China.
They see land and start salivating
@@MegTelevised it's always been that way since the Allen brothers started Houston. It was all real estate speculation and sales. They even had pictures of mountains in their ads back in New York where they were from.
@@MegTelevised what’s wrong with buying land and investing ? Sorry that your poor and probably on welfare
@@stanleyaguirre9284 excuse you! I am a granola eating tree hugging hippie. Get it right
This neighborhood should be preserved I pray people refuse to sell
They did the same where I grew up Washington Ave and TC.Jester both neighborhoods have changed so much
I work in these homes sometimes I wonder why would they build next to old old small homes and they also get vandalized and stolen from all the times 😂
Bc they're not from Houston. They don't know jack. Lol
It’s funny huh?
@@CH-lt4qh it sho is Tameeka
@@lisanewton8237 I know a dude from California who sold his 3/2 house in Long Beach for 1.9 million bucks and came here and bought 7 old houses there, painted them up a little and rented them. He never moved here he just rents them and won't take care of any problems. That's just one guy. They're doing it in Galveston too. That's why beach houses have gone up 10 times in price in only 8 years.
Hello. I used to live in Houston Texas, I would always watch channel 13 eye witness news. Mr. Dave Ward ed Brendon weather reporter. I do go to Houston too visit family. That's my home town..
The elderly lady in the video stated that if her house was really worth that much write the check but the unscrupulous real-estate developers will give her a very lowballed offer for her home. If the offer is not taken she will be hit with high property taxes to be forced out of the home. This practice is going to lead to class wars.
People who contribute to society pay taxes. People want services but don't want to pay for it
Yea because they just want the land , only so they can knock the house down and build a 600k-900k plus home .
@@sleepmoneyken9234 There is a big difference between buying the owners out and imminent domain. They are not TAKING these people's property or homes. The people are selling their homes, property or buying foreclosures that are on the market. There are so many people that are concerned about the neighborhood I don't understand why they don't go and buy the abandoned houses, property and foreclosures property. Families property and homes are taken using imminent domain all the time and so this is not uncommon
@Ash Hegde BS I've witnessed this with a family member that was trying to sell her home. Yes there is indeed discrimination and lowballing when it comes to black homeowners trying to sell their homes...google is your friend.
@Ash Hegde LoL I see you like to troll because there is more than enough true stories on youtube that covers discrimination black homeowners face when trying to sell their homes. The news coverage is so direct and simple that even a caveman can understand.
I wouldn’t live there if they paid me honestly the crime rate is bad I feel bad for all then now the prices good grief
I really need to educate my people about inflation and how to be in front of these gentrification before outsiders start getting them in order for them to keep their properties as well as make additional money from leveraging it.
Well you say that...
I say do it sista. Hold a event at 1 of the church parking lots or Emancipation Park. Use social media to promote it to get news coverage. I don't do social media because of the negative idiots, but I watch the news
@@d.d.t.7239 I’ll just do it on my KZhead channel and Instagram page.
Self-awareness would be a good start. You need money to own property. Half of these people are basically welfare level and can't afford upgrades so why would your "education" help them at this point? You can't leverage what you don't have. Maybe reinvest in to your own culture and they would have something?
@@misunderstoodkj the people who need the education are not keyed in to these mediums. I'm sure community organizations would welcome you providing that much needed education. I myself wished I had been more savvy when I 1st saw the signs years ago.
In the country of Turkey investors buy private homes/land and build high rise apartments. The investors sign a contract with the original land /home owners and once the high rise is built, the original owners get two or three of the finished apartments in that complex. It’s a win-win situation. Everyone is lifted up with generational wealth in this manner. America need to take a page from Turkish society and do right by African-Americans and other minorities.
Now that is the way to do it! @Cindy Rolle
LoL That's reality in Turkey but science fiction in the US.
That's a great idea. Create Win Win situations.
Are we still in the mode of giving blacks a hand-out? Still?
Cindy Rolle, That would be ideal…but America will NEVER do right when it comes to Black people. 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Yup it’s sad seeing how houston has been growing even myself just moved out into the country :(
Sheila Jackson Lee District. Need to be held accountable or VOTED out of office.
Isn't Third Ward flood prone?? Thats the biggest issue in this city. They keep building new complexes and homes in flood zones. Out of towners, unaware of just how flood prone Houston is, move in. We get another big hurricane and their new home is damaged. The cycle repeats itself.....
Yeah and it will also drive up the cost for flood insurance for 3rd ward making it impossible for those over there on fixed incomes to afford the added expense for housing. The taxes are already going through the roof in that area. Increasing flood insurance would put them in the position to lose their flood insurance due to the increasing taxes and cost of flood insurance after those over priced designer houses flood.
THIRD WARD AIN"T FLOOD PRONE..IT AIN'T THE NINTH WARD IN NEW ORLEANS
@@TheTexasViper I believe you because you used all caps.
@@steven4315 I BELIEVE YOU BECAUSE YOU SAID I USED ALL CAPS
Those old houses were built above grade for that reason long ago. However, with a population that has grown into the millions, more concrete and roads are necessary to build and get around. I think ALL houses in all the counties here need to be elevated at least 4 feet, but hte problem is that most of the subdivisions and houses here are built by out of state companies at ground level that don't have a clue or even care if they can flood, or that it creates more flooding by imepeding or diverting water flow. Nothing can stop them, especially not local authorities.
It’s happening to Pine Hills Fl and other predominantly black neighborhoods
I love 3rd ward but they do not keep the houses up there
I remember spending a couple of summers in 3rd Ward with my cousins, no gunfire but plenty of tussles, the folks in 3rd were good people and I enjoyed my summers down yonder when I was a kid
Gentrification it’s been happening since 15 years ago all of the wards will soon disappear
Good 😌
Now Houston feeling what Atlanta been going through for the past 20yrs
this has been happening
But whats wrong with selling a home that your family bought for 35K and asking for 100K? you can use that to go buy a new how.
Who the heck wants to pay $200k for a condo in a crime / poverty area?
They’ll be $800k before you know. Small minded folks don’t think. Like you. It’s going to happen regardless of what you want.
@@iHadWaterForDinner Watch out guys, we have Megamind over here 🙄
@@noelr1010 you must rent. LOL
Send then to Louisiana 😅
Exactly 😂
Same thing Furious said in Boyz In the Hood is happening in every city big and small. That movie is full of lessons.
In the area where I live there were a lot of abandoned houses that were torn down and a lot of empty lots standing . There are still quite a few abandoned houses left that will probably be torn down. Most likely these lots are going to have condo's, townhouses and apartment buildings built on them. Ownership of single detached house will be thing of the past for certain income level citizens in certain areas.
Yup , in the 5th ward near Frenchys all the empty lots have been cleared and made into those 3 story homes
good for them. progress is being made to clean the place up
Have you ever lived in a "nice" suburban area? You don't want to live next to near poverty folks because they try to bring their ways wherever they go. These people leave the ghetto and move to nicer areas and still behave the same way. Don't keep up their yards, throw trash everywhere etc..
@@DIVISIONINCISION u r right. I remember an old saying by the older generation when I was a kid "u can take them out of the ghetto but u can't take the ghetto out of them".
@@tc539 clean up what?? My family and myself were and are hard working people. So a good few get pushed out by the useless ghetto trash???
My wife’s paternal side of the family has been in Houston for four generations. Her paternal grandparents dreamed of buying a home in 3rd ward in the early 1950s but couldn’t afford the $20-$30K home prices and opted to buy a house in Sunnyside for $8K in 1952. We ended up buying a house in 3rd ward in 2020 and absolutely love it!
If you have money and you choose to live in Houston, you are asking for everything you get. Thousands of criminals out on bond walking among you, and half of you people don't even carry a weapon. Oh well, Darwin's theory at work. I live about 3 hour Northwest of you and we don't have those "cultural" issues.
Does it flood there?
Most of third ward does not flood. There are some parts that are closer to the Bayou that are in the flood zone and have previously flooded.
I Love how you are bringing the obvious of what's happen to me and a lot of other families and single people and the elderly. I am in my golden years trying to work two jobs and still not making a dent. I have only my self and some family and my dignity....I am still fighting these high prices on food,gas and housing. What if anything can be done that's not pertaining to a WAIT LIST.....I am tired of waiting for basic nessiceties and needs.😑
This is sad. I grew up in a ver low income area in another state but left there and done well for mysel. However, those who have no sympathy or understanding of how these people will become homeless will soon become the ones who will be the example as well. Everybody eventually has their turn when greed and selfishness is what they sew. Remember that way of thinking when you can’t pay a bill, buy food, or have one thing after another happen that may not be pleasant for you. Just wait. It’s coming. It only takes a snap for material success to be taken.
I come into agreement with you on this. May a curse fall upon every greedy investor who has used his wealth to push the poor from their homes. He will fall into need one day, he'll fall onto troubles his money cant buy him out of, and none shall have pity on him. You reap what you sew.
All Well And Very True!! But Those Type Don't Care Black Hearted People Only Care What Benefits Them!! Not Others And Don't Care How Or Who They Hurt Or Step On To Get What They Want!! But Karma Does Know Everyone's Address And It Won't Hesitate To Drop By And Pay An Unexpected Visit!! 😁
They won't be homeless. They selling those old houses for a whole lot of money and buying new ones in the burbs in better neighborhoods.
Ain't nobody on that bs in a land of white supremacy. Do you kid and don't worry about others
I’m White and live in NJ. My rent went from $1,000/month to $2000/month not including utilities. I’m completely priced out of the state…..
this is happening in every black neighborhood in every major city
Yep 👍🏽 😭😭😭😭
@Hunter Bidens Laptop 💻 hahahha
It's called prosperity, city's need to grow not stay in rubble's
@Hunter Bidens Laptop 💻 who is they?
@Hunter Bidens Laptop 💻 was being sarcastic 😂 you know how people are today 🥴
Honestly Houston gotten worse since hurricane Katrina
The crime rate goes up when New Orleans is in the building
The same thing is going on in Acres Homes, Acres Homes was always known for rural like living, horseback riding, trail riders, with big lots, and everyone knew our neighbors by their last name. Now they coming in, building all these condos, and we don't know who lives next door to us anymore. SMH
I never understand this. If you have been in an area for 30+ years, your home should be paid for. If you are just responsible for property taxes and home insurance you should not have an issue even with inflation. I'm just saying. My parents are from a 3rd world country and were able to make it in the U.S., so the residents of this country should not be having this issue.
A Yates A lot of people in that area never got out of the trap of paying rent; therefore they never became property owners because I bet they never thought they’d stay that long. Time has a way of sneaking up on you and before you know it, you’re old with nowhere to go. 🥲🥲🥲
And being from a 3rd world country and your comment proves that you truly know nothing about how Black Americans have been treated in the USA. You need to learn the truth about how Black Americans built the country due to slavery and never received payment for that work and how they have been kept down on purpose throughout the years. It may seem cut and dry to you but there is more to the story. Don't you dare look down your nose at these people until you understand the bigger picture on how they have been treated for over 400 years!
@@Basha1WB That’s right….school that idiot! They come here snd are given loans and handouts that blacks have been denied for centuries. The nerve of him. Smdh Everybody wants to add their 2 cents to something they don’t know but only what they’ve heard. Smdh
@Ash Hegde That can be said for other poor people as well. Many are trapped in low income areas; such as trailer parks and subsidized housing also, as you put it due to a lack of skills and “ reckless procreation”
They are trying to push me out after 18 years owning my home. The taxes, insurance, and constant harassment from the HOA is absolutely insufferable. And top that off with a postcard from an investor every day offering cash to buy me out. It’s really tiresome and stressful. I am completely bled dry.
😢
She said-Give me that money. There’s your problem right there. The welfare and sense of entitlement and victim mentality
I’m a Houston resident and a senior. God bless these people, especially the elderly. The world is a cruel place and unfortunately money talks.
My grandmothers home is still there and if the gentrifiers read energy they better build around...
how much is the house worth?
lmk when you want to sell it
Education is the key to success and alot of times we can blame ourselves because of ignorance x100
They said they are making it better for except you can't afford change
Making it better for who??? 😝 fooling ppls
It’s the same neighborhood where the kids from U of H & TSU are still trying to learn
Yes, exactly so whitey needs to buy land in whitey's hood.
Does anybody remember when the montrose area was for junkies…and what ever happened to soul food…those were the daze…
There should be laws to keep developers out. Also, city commissioners are responsible for encouraging 'economic growth' instead of protecting established residents.
And keep crackheads in?
Those townhomes are so ugly, poorly made, overpriced, and ruin the skyline. It’d be nice if developers built moderately sized homes at affordable prices, but we know that’s not gonna happen.
"This where George Floyd come up at"? He said that like it was impressive 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
We've lost. The out of towners have robbed us blind. I've lost two homes due to these new lofts that are going up all around Houston.
You know they say..When you make it out of the hood..you should give back to the hood. This is why.. Money Talks.
YES! And people don’t wanna do that! People making money these days want instant gratification, nice car, nice house, nice clothes. Investing in something for the good of the greater - foreign concept.
You can buy a house all day but can you afford the rising property taxes? Get real people
cities grow... just a fact. Adapt or leave
this is happening everywhere, even in the suburbs... nothing new here.
Stop renting own your home black people. The way we are red lined in New Orleans. Detroit. Baltimore etc the last thing we should be doing is renting.
I'm from Detroit and Redlining has been happening for a very long time. But the key is being smart. Taxes is what pushes black people out of their neighborhood. I bought a home in Houston and own several homes and lots in Detroit. I purchased vacant lots abandoned homes. The key is for you to buy your neighborhood. I get calls all day long about buying my property in Detroit. You have to be the first to purchase the land next to you. You can't stop gentrification but you can surely buy in your own backyard. Learn about tax exemptions and tax credits,etc. Stay on top of your business and dispute your taxes.
You don't own a home you can't pay taxes on
NO WAY I WOULD BUY AND LIVE THERE!!!!!!!!
Pricing people out. SAD!
This is happening in FL everywhere
Not my Florida 😢

Third ward what is the name of the prison system this is and what state
I see all the people hanging out in front of the corner store and I guess this is the rich culture and history that people talk about. People want streets and drainage and good schools but the ward does not contribute enough to maintain the neighborhood, schools, streets etc. They're not taking these people's property, they are buying them and helping the neighborhood financially with tax dollars but for reason people want to keep it a crime ridden dump and expect to maintain the area. The culture of a neighborhood is not the past but hope of a prosperous future.
Have to get rid of that mayor
And I thought where I live is bad that is why I bought a house on a hill the road is 30 ft below the foundation
OH NO NO NO CRIME IS HORRENDOUS IN 3RD WARD. It needs new people, make it safe
Most of the people have been there their whole lives....leave them alone..😡😡😡
When she say they she talkin bout white folk
Of course she is. In particular bigots and white supremacists like you and so what!!
Yup
This is partially caused by the nearby Dynamo Stadium and the expansion of UH.
Truckers passing through Houston
Ok my question is who is renting and buying these homes?
It's happening in Missouri City too. The home prices are rising like crazy here. I paid $200,000 cash for a house on the golf course three years ago, now it's worth $399,000. It was a fixer-upper but didn't need too many updates. Give me 500K and you can have it..........
It needs to get taken over by nicer properties. It has been run down for decades and since the community has done little to make it better, others have to come in and make it better. It's a shame as well as it borders the University of Houston and has TSU and Jack Yates High School in the middle of it.
Oh yeah alot of History there . Drugs , prostitution, killings and crack use
Cunys, I have my family memories their ❤
Listen you don't need to stop being fooled this is Sheila Jackson Lee's area this is her doing she is the one that pulls in these people to build this is why this place is never gotten built up in the past she has kept it down she has not cared. And now she's found a way to make some money
Better pay them taxes
Good luck with that
This is what happens when we let investors from California and New York come to Houston
There doing that everywhere in Harris county but that’s ok the people that represent you are getting rich
You was born raise in third ward why would anyone try to change it
It's a developers dream to take advantage while most things are at a stand still. Trust me, they're paying close attention to delinquent tax payers.
Yes they are....every day.
Is there a way to redevelopment the area and keep residents, history at the same time? We see this happening all over the world when a once low income area become higher in demand. So glad I’m Houston and U.S. there is mobsters trying to physically and threatening existing residents to move (I haven’t heard).
If you can find a house for under 250 grand, you are very lucky.
Probably like the 8th ward in the D.C. area.
This isn’t a race issue- this is an economic issue,.. that happens to affect those who didn’t buy or own their home. Life is about change anyways, what’s the saying- out with the old in with the new
Wonder where the crime problem will move to next?
It’s called progress.
It's called weak black men like yourself not willing to try and fight to build up black communities. Every group of men does this but black men. 😏

I don't see the issue. if the house is worth money sell it and get something nicer or use the equity in it to build it up. I've sold my houses in the past and made good money to buy another and take a small vacation.
It’s a mentality. People are literally trapped in their minds.
@@thecalmwayhome8483 I've seen that happen.
I say fight, rally, march and protest whatever you have to do TO STOP IT!! It’s so sad how they think they are entitled to what they want
I think all those new properties going up bring new life into the community. It’s a nice change for the better. I don’t get all the complaining. You’re neighborhood is getting a free upgrade.
I see you don’t get it. They upgrade, UP the rent and get the residents UP out of there. There’s an agenda and it doesn’t benefit the residents who already live there. Saw it happen to my neighborhood already. That’s what the complaining is about. New life? Would you like new life in your home? Raise your rent 3 times the amount you were paying? That means you’re old life and you need to find another home.
How is it an upgrade when no one white folks lives there benefits from it? Just because white people take over and claim a space doesn’t automatically make it good. Your comment is ignorant and shows your lack of compassion.
Just like every hood in the loop gentification should be illegal.
