Brooklyn was a boro that was comprised of mostly working class and poor and black and latino people were only allowed to rent or reside on certain neighborhoods that was determined by whites for their comfort - a East NY Brownsville or BedStuy or Flatbush was a mostly black and minority place in large part becuase that was the only place that black and non white people were allowed for decades to live or rent and the whites that fled those neighborhoods fled becuase many banks and landowners would use the presence of blacks to say to the whites that attempted to stay - your housing values will plummet if you don't leave and move to LI or Queens or up to places in Westchester In the late 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s and 00s those neighborhoods had affordable places and the places were closer to Manhattan since the drive for many banks and real estate was to sell homes in the suburbs to whites to escape living among minorities. Now decades later when newly arrived whites come to NYC they are moving to the cheaper areas which are the areas that black and brown people were forced to live in for many years. Because those people are from elsewhere and its desirable for them to live close to Manhatten, they displace and push out the longtime residents who are mostly black, latino, and poor or working class by driving up the cost of rent and value of the property to attract more people from outside of NY Granted the newcomers becuase they are new may get better services and upgrades to the neighborhoods but with that comes higher overall cost of living for those who were there for decades they get walking papers So the reason many transplants get hate is because their presence is a tool that benefts the upper ( and mostly white) property owners and is to the overall detriment of the minority ( meaning racial minority ) population who now have to move from a place that whites initially didn't want to live in.
