so my question to you is this… where exactly DO you want to ship out all the poor people? cuz that is essentially what you are saying. i’d love to know where you think they are all going to go to make room for people like you. honestly, i dont think they are going anywhere anytime soon. and they shouldnt have to.

Says the guy living exactly where zillions of working-class families used to call home, many of whom were blockbusted out of their apartments.

“black and Latino people know it’s a beautiful neighborhood even though it’s populated mostly by black people. Gentrifying-whitening rapidly just like Clinton Hill and Ft. Greene.”

I’m signing off this topic for now, people. It was a serious request.

Back to work.
