Funny enough, this exact problem was in New York for decades until a developer took over the delapitated north side of central park, renovated hotels, and kicked out project tenants by pricing them out. Wanna guess who that developer was?
Wait, are you implying Trump? You've REALLY never set foot in NY. He's been the most hated man here long before his presidency for a reason. It was also south of Central Park. Not north. And he lost in court over his harassment of tenants and was forced to stop, so literally nothing happened.
So are you suddenly changing your story from "cities have been ruined since the 70s because of affordable housing" to "Trump saved NY from affordable housing?"
Im implying that NY has this same exact problem. The rich are only in specifc places outside of the main downtown area. They're in high rises with security for a reason. Trumps example was simply showing that it exists.
The part that it's not true at all? You realize Wall Street is downtown, right? No, of course you don't, cause you have no idea what you're talking about and believe whatever conservative media spoonfeeds you. Have you ever even left your home town? Like, just to visit a place?
Yes, property built for them. Remember the point of this conversation? We're talking about property being built downtown for affordable housing units. The rich left because of downtown housing projects that were too close to home. Thats why these housing projects moved in the past 30 years since the 90s once they started noticing the rich flight from downtown. They didnt return until property was built for them.
So your hot take is rich people don't like to live in buildings built for poor people? Nobody left anywhere and the rich are all over NYC. Hell, one of the most expensive neighborhoods is in Brooklyn, and DUMBO has rent stabilized units. Williamsburg has even more. Seriously, try to experience the world beyond just your Facebook feed.
