MIAMI — Nicole Crooks stood in the plaza of the historic Lyric Theater, a royal blue hat shielding her from the midday sun that baked Miami.
In its heyday, the theater, in the city’s Overtown neighborhood, was an important cultural hub for the Black community.
Located inland, far from prized beachfront real estate, Overtown was once shunned by developers and wealthy homeowners, said Crooks, a community engagement manager at Catalyst Miami, a nonprofit focused on equity and justice.
But as Miami has become ground zero for climate change, Overtown has also become a hot spot for developers fleeing rising seas and coastal flood risk, say climate experts and community advocates.
That’s because Overtown — like districts such as Allapattah, Liberty City, Little Haiti and parts of Coconut Grove — sits along the Miami Rock Ridge. This elevated limestone spine is nine feet above sea level, on average — about three feet higher than Miami’s overall average.
A development boom in these districts is changing the face of these historically Black neighborhoods and driving up prices, longtime residents tell CNBC. The dynamic is known as “climate gentrification.”

Climate is just weather so relax people . Their climate change is something they made up and is a renamed global warming ,LOL
lol
the left literally had the government force integration in the past. But now that it is happening naturally they are fighting to stop it.
I thought diversity was our strength, so why fight to keep a “black neighborhood”
You deserve what you vote for.
any time it is extra hot = global warming
any time it is extra cold = weather
or just say “climate change” and call anything PROOF!
According to the left, “climate change” is driving the world’s brown skins to illegally cross our southern border, which is the opposite of so called “gentrification”.
Don’t live in Florida and my experience in Miami is limited to changing planes at the airport, but does a 3 foot rise in elevation actually constitute a ‘ridge’ there?

“ground zero for climate change”
If they repeat the “climate change” mantra a billion times it will be still be a lie—it is the elites trying to rip off everybody else.
If one is that close to the ocean, balancing proximity to the ocean with height above sea level is a prudential thing.
Most of the time proximity is nice, but if it comes at the price of great fear once in five years, major damage once in 20, and being wiped out once in fifty, the height may allow one to sleep better.
I like the Oregon Coast. One can be fairly close to the Ocean and 200 feet above sea level—a nice combination.
The dynamic is known as “climate gentrification.”
MANMADE CLIMATE CHANGE...

It may in Kansas and Iowa from what I hear. If there is a tidal surge of two feet, being up three feet is certainly nice.
I know a Hawkeye who knew some college students in Iowa with high tech gear and compared the surface variation in a pancake with that of Iowa.
Iowa, it turns out, is actually flatter than a pancake.
I am starting to think going back to horse and buggy and telegraph communications would be good. Soooo sick of all the made up crap.
Gentrification is big in a lot of places these days.
What nonsense. Developers are buying property where it’s less expensive and selling it for a profit. That’s what developers do.
If the oceans actually were rising and waterfront property got cheaper as a result, developers would be buying that land in hopes of selling it at a higher price, with no concern as to whether the purchaser eventually got flooded out.
Spike Lee once said something similar , about how there’s gentrification in Brooklyn neighborhoods such as Bedford Stuyvesant.
Spike said something along the lines of, newcomers to the neighborhood do not honor the character and the culture and the history of the neighborhood.
We might think gentrification is actually a good thing because you’re redeveloping slum neighborhoods and people are refurbishing and redeveloping blighted areas.
Apparently some would rather that neighborhoods remain blighted and slummy and crime ridden just because they are majority black, rather than seeing any positive changes happen in those neighborhoods
Stupid. It’s not climate change driving this. It’s just money.
The developers are buying up cheap real estate in a war zone and pushing out the natives. When the cities invest in the new development zones this jacks up the taxes pushing out the existing people. To keep the natives from getting restless they stick a global warming sticker on it to sell to the rubes
Sometimes it feels like many of us are displaced agrarians.
Otherwise,I don’t remember getting a vote whether I wanted everything connected to my cell phone / laptop..especially applying for work?
We have been adapting to weather for millennia. We will continue to adapt. Those who cannot, don’t deserve to advance.
Hopefully not related to that other person with the same surname.
