Jack: Heh, didn't realize HTML was disabled. So here's just some of what I wrote at http://www.angrybrownbutch.com/2006/04/28/62 I lived in Bushwick for two years before moving to my current neighborhood in Brooklyn. And while living there, I agonized about the gentrification that I could see happening around me. Over those two...

Jack: I just have one thing to say to Penpusher: Word. I used to live in Bushwick and have many thoughts on the gentrification that's going on there, a lot of which I've written about here. I really don't mean for that to just be a shameless plug; I want...

Penpusher: Here's the thing about the geography of NYC. Everything radiates from Midtown. During the late 90s, the Giuliani era, NY developed a reputation as being a safe city, a clean city and as Rudy claimed, "The Capital Of The World." There were even banners hanging around town with that phrase...

Peter: a quick look at the wiki entry for bushwick shows that the displaced people youre talking about are far from the first to be displaced, whether from gentrification, changing demographics, modernization, urbanization, etc. i mean, i completely get your point (and empathize with some of its implications, especially when i...

elaine: it looks brick built, is it? i believe brick buildings can only get so tall before something drastic happens. it looks knitted. and i agree that it has a certain mojo just for surviving, as you can see it is already dwarfed by its surroundings, let alone when they build...

Chris Erb: I imagine a lot of people are moving there beause they like the diversity and the vibe that comes with it. I wonder how many will realize it was because of them that it's gone when everyone is priced out of the neighbourhood.
