It has to do when somebody moves into your neighborhood hood that you have done your very best to keep out.

Usually targeted towards African Americans and is usually very definitive in tone. A point that needs to be accepted because the government wont allow any form of segregation to take place slowly more and more since the civil rights movement. Rightly So A Community does not need a burden to its economic framework. Municipal politics!!!!

But i guess you can go an bastardize the expression and say the expression can be said for any other race but that would just be rude and detering of the very intent and origin of the word.
"Look Hunny a negro is moving in 5 houses down,"
"Ahhh lokk at them moving there boxes, HUnny Do you think theyll be like the last ones?"
"Honestly Im very Pessimistic about that matter, I dont think this time will be any better."

Describes da act of covering da houses and streets in your local area in sailcloth in an attempt to trap one or more bad guys.
Perhaps "canvasing the neighborhood" could also be effectively accomplished by putting up framed paintings on outside walls everywhere and then watching for da greedy villains whom you're after to come out of hiding and start stealing said valuable art-creations to sell, and then nab them in da act.

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"
