If there's one thing that staves of gentrification, it's capping the supply of a basic good in a place where it is in the highest demand anywhere in the country...
Incorrect - it is has remained one of the more mixed-income and affordable areas of manhattan (stats below even include the wealthier Chelsea area)
not everything is a “gotcha” moment
Not sure I would agree it’s “one of the most expensive” - Clinton hill is kind shitty overall. It’s definitely more expensive than parts of Harlem and the Heights, etc.
This is interesting that gentrification was perceived as a threat to Hell’s Kitchen given how rough it was at the time, no? Can you say more about? I understand there were restrictions on height. As a YIMBY, I’m still torn about the area as I have a soft spot for the elegant

It's expensive and also a complete dump full of 120 year old houses run by the most crooked landlords in all of NYC
The only thing preserved from 1974 is the roaches and like a dozen people that inherited some rent control
NYC rents continue to skyrocket – making living in gay male-desired neighborhoods too expensive for most of the community
I love how local property owners can force a larger payout in the long-term by organizing 'democratically' as a neighborhood against the interests of their city or country. Totally not a form of capture
ok while the special clinton district is bad, this area is by no means close to being one of the most expensive areas in manhattan. rents are significantly cheaper here zillow.com/homes/for_rent than in the UWS next door zillow.com/homes/Upper-We
I lived in that neighborhood and the irony is it’s kind of run down? Like once you get past 9th there just isn’t much happening and parts of that far west side are kind of industrial. Lots of car dealerships? It’s genuinely strange in places.

The liberal establishment has colossally failed us and ushered in a dangerous Trump administration in the process. The only answer is a bottom-up working-class movement.

But the politicians at the time got to feel like they were going something, and isn't that what matters most?
Did you accidentally pull some of the figures for the west corner of billionaires row? Hell's Kitchen isn't anywhere close to one of the most expensive neighborhoods (nor is it the one of the cheapest)
Hell’s Kitchen is what it’s called, and it’s actually one often cheaper areas of Manhattan.
These ppl don't get that the gentrification will keep happening anyway. It's so fruststrating.

I had the chance to ride through this on a recent visit to Las Vegas. Honestly, it made typical regional airport people mover look like space age technology.
