What next, are people going to start crying when a rezoning occurs in BedStuy or East New York? Is this the beginning of tearing down the housing projects across the city?

The Negro and Latino population are the last in NY's lower class laborer narrative. The Industrial Revolution ended in the 1950's. The Irish, Jewish, Russian, Italian and German immigrants who forged their American identities in that era have now moved on and blended into the American middle, it's only the Negro and Hispanic who remain stuck in the urban slum paradigm.

I remember growing in on 121 as a kid and when people were starting to see Harlem as a up and coming place. And now I see what Gentrification can do since the people who live in Harlem will not be employed by the business who move there or be able to live there either.

They should just plop a stage at 125th & Lex and hire Paul Mooney to insult every white person who passes by. That'll show those crackers trying to make Harlem all nice like only white people like it.

Restore a chunk of ghetto to its bombed-out heyday for these teary eyed activists and let the developers have the Meer.

Fears of "what"? A better environment? I was born in Harlem in 1962. Being there was all about getting away.

I think the communities fears are justified.

I believe the govt should place artificial market restraints on these people's behalf, in return these people should limit their ability to walk and shop in certain areas where the rest of us suckers who are living in a free market society are playing the game right.

"Affordable" - to be able to bear the cost of. "income-targeted" - income that is targeted. "Barron" - Early 22nd century term for total racist idiot.
