Gentrification in Harlem
How do you feel about the gentrification/changes occurring in Harlem?
"I am very unhappy about it (gentrification). And I am very annoyed with the political leaders that allowed it to happen; they said it was going to be a positive change in the community."
"Has any of the gentrification occurring in Harlem affected you directly or indirectly, and ifso, is it negative or positive?
"Directly, I had a niece and she had to move. She had a fire and could not find housing in Harlem because she is not upper-middle income. Blacks consider middle-income at thirty-six thousand dollars but you need one hundred fifty thousand dollars a year to afford Harlem, now!"
