Gentrification is happenning everywhere!Block by block sweeping the "dirt poor" to make commodity for the filty rich.and @devmonbar if poor people had the jobs,money,good education then perhaps a tentative aggreement for equal housing would help the community out.The plan to slowly make a two class society 1st class last class high class low class in this country on the rise and guess what were are not part of it.
@ArchNME it isn't just about rent. they're whitewashing one of the greatest places in the world, a prime example of america's strange culture, home to its counterculture, etc. it's really aggravating to see them tear it all down and replace it with some wine bars and glass buildings
@HuaYifu Okay, arson it is then. Wait, why would you want to do this again? To keep your rent from going up because cus you don't feel like moving? Aren't you kinda overreacting?
@ArchNME oh shit, what is that? i've never heard of it. you know, this kind of tactic has worked for the environmentalist groups. for instance, they petitioned a city to close down a lumber mill for months. of course the city just went "fuck you." so, they just sneaked into the place at night and burnt it down. the company never managed to rebuild. insurance isn't that simple.
burn down the condos, it's getting obvious that peaceful protest doesn't work. It's likely that a lot of the developers won't be able to afford rebuilding
So what! I like the "change." Better than some poor people all over the place not taking care of their community. However I do agree with the outrageous rent prices in the area. There need to be some middle ground regarding that. I cannot imagine paying $4000 a month in rent for a Pre War Studio in LES in 2020.

gentrification might change the neighborhood for the better, but it damn sure doesn't benefit the residents
