There Goes the Neighborhood
It's time to get real.
Gentrification is inescapable in New York. This is coming from a writer who covers what could be considered by many as symptoms of gentrification, like bars in formerly industrial neighborhoods that boast bocci ball and $15 drinks or trendy donuts in Bed Stuy. We believe in educating ourselves about the forces behind gentrification, which is why There Goes the Neighborhood is a must-listen for any city dweller. It offers a fascinating look at the changes, both good and bad, that have dramatically altered Brooklyn neighborhoods. The show goes beyond real estate and paints a human story that will have you thinking critically about your own neighborhood and your role in its evolution.
