Start what? Just because a few people are upset with the current state of affairs doesn't mean they have to come on this forum to take out their frustrations. The apartment will most likely sell, everything has a price. Most of the Bronx today reminds me of Brooklyn in the 1980s. Look at Brooklyn now.
For a set of people that supposedly want to see improvement, it sure doesn't seem that way by some of the posts. And if you don't want to see improvement, why bother spreading negative energy around?
Both of my parents (1st gen Americans) were born and raised in the Bronx. All I ever heard was how beautiful it once was. One thing my PR uncle would say is that the Bronx would someday return to its former glory. In my heart, I believe this to be true.

I believe it will too. I am liking the changes I've seen in the Bronx over the past 10 years. Unless people want to go back to the days of dodging discarded car tires on those step streets, I don't see the issue.

Parts of the Bronx like Mott Haven will definitely see improvement, but Fordham is a pretty different situation

My father lived in NYC in the late 1940s. He told me many times that back then the Bronx was the most beautiful part of the city and the most desirable residential area. The South Bronx has already started to come back and will stimulate more residential development

Are we taking into account all the thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of migrants pouring into the city and the great number of residents fleeing? There might be "residential development," but I'm not sure that will be "a comeback."

It was beautiful. Elegant art deco buildings, good transportation, to Manhattan or upstate. Many professionals, middle class, and working people. The Botanical Gardens, Poe Park,
the zoo, the beach. There were also neighborhoods of private homes. In many ways, it is more convenient than Brooklyn.
My family is from the Bronx on both sides. I lived there for the first five years of my life.
The Bronx gets a bad rap, and I think it will return to be a place to raise a family. My hope is that it doesn't become ultra-expensive and unaffordable, the way so much of the city has.
