Local residents protest a proposal that would only set new building height restrictions/rezoning of the East Village, while excluding predominantly Chinese and Spanish speaking neighborhoods. The proposal protects the more affluent community of the East Village while ignoring those of lesser income. As a result, the neglected neighborhoods remain susceptible to gentrification.

Josh, please define progress? Is progress to remove residents who have lived in this neighborhood for years? Is progress to displace people of color and those of lower income? The world does not belong to the wealthy and it is the responsibility of government to ensure that all people are protected and represented. We're not talking about communism, but democracy for all people regardless of economic or social standing. Economic discrimination is as bad as any other ism.
These people are communists and just don't get it. Redevelopment of the lower east side is good for everyone. This neighborhood has been constantly changing for more than a hundred years. They want to freeze progress for their own idealistic fantasies. Sad.
Overdevelopment is destroying our communities in the five boroughs. Its about time that our elected representatives step up to the plate and support their constituents.
