After the class’ discussion on gentrification and prof. Rosenblum’s comments on gentrification in the Bronx, i couldn’t help but look up more information (as a resident of the Bronx myself). I came across this interesting article that really shed light on how gentrification in places like Harlem causes rent hikes in south bronx especially. Check out the article and comment your thoughts
