It's what you say when you see an advertisement for a new development in a part of town that was once cool (see:low rent, dangerous, fun) and you get the hint of dread upon imagining the hoard of NPC yuppies from out of state that will inevitably fill up at least 60% of these polished turd-houses/shit-buildings. ....And all the new traffic that goes along with having several hundred new residents all trying to come and go from the area during certain times of day, in a place without the proper infrastructure to facilitate it.
Someone asks "did you see what they're gonna build down on Gay St?"
You respond (usually prefaced with a sigh that borders on a groan) "Yup. Shame... Here comes the neighborhood"

A small but active Crip set from the Rollin’ 70’s card. Allied with the W/S 65 Menlo Neighborhood Crips (MNHC) as 657NHC (Vermont Square Gang). Beef with 62HPB, 83GC, and Hoovers. Don’t beef with 73GC.

When someone generalizes your life based on a neighborhood you lived in at one point or another and doesn't take the time to think about that not everyone in a neighborhood does not make the same income, act the same or live in the same type of housing that most in that neighborhood might live in. Neighborhood generalization
Kid 1: where you from?
Kid 2: I'm from Brooklyn but I moved to Westchester when I was 7.
Kid 1: oh Westchester, your so rich.i stayed in the borroughs till I was out of high school.
Kid 2: no actually we had one of the smallest houses in the area and I could not afford half of what the other kids had. My parents did it for the better schools. Btw your house in the city cost more than mine. And you drove a Ferrari. Neighborhood generalization

Things work a little different when you're in your own neighborhood versus when you're somewhere you're not from.
There was no greater hypocrisy than someone not from an area/neighborhood trying to run somebody who was from the area/neighborhood off. It began to get highly inflammatory.
