The Forces behind NY Gentrification - Two Books about New York
Manage episode 229034206 series 2492328
New York took a right turn in the 70s and mostly because the money ran out. Austerity seemed inevitable but was it? Did we really have to sell the city to the super rich and cut back on all social services? And why is Times Square now like a great big bright midwestern mall? Two authors, Kim Phillips-Fein and Jeremiah have written at length about it. I read their books and I talk about what I read.
