    This memorandum responds to the principal executive administrator of New York City Housing Authority’s question regarding the New York Public Housing Law §37. Public housing disrepair and low maintenance is not a new issue to New Yorkers.

I remember in the news, the news anchor reported that New York City was recognized as the crime capital in the 1950's through the early 1990's.…

    Overall, Borough Park has a better educational level than Bedford Stuyvesant. In my opinion this is because Bedford Stuyvesant lacks poor access to amenities and lack of resources such as schools and community programs. If a neighborhood lacks school and/or very good schools, it will be hard to get a proper education. In an excerpt called “At the Edge of Poverty”, the author says, “The children of the poor are funneled into delinquency, drugs, or jobs with meager pay and little future” (Shipler, pg. 6). This is because of the lack of schools and good schools in Bedford Stuyvesant.…

    Pros Of Gentrification

    • 618 Words
    • 3 Pages

    At first glance gentrification of low-income neighborhoods may see a direct representation of modern colonialism were wealthy middle-class men and women displace impoverished families, but there is much more. First, we must understand what gentrification is, Merriam Webster defines this term as “the process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces poorer residents”. The term gentrification has a negative connotation but I believe that this should not be. There are many benefits to the community, natives and the newcomers of the area that have been gentrified. Raised living standard, economic growth of communities as well as the nation as a whole, and lastly ethnic and economic diversity are benefits of-of gentrification that many turn a blind eye to.…

    The government is able to invest more in services that are beneficial for the community, since upper class residents contribute more income tax and property taxes, which then increases tax revenues. These services include improving schools, reconditioning of roads and parks, beautifying and rehabilitating the community, and most importantly providing a safer environment. A decline in crime rates is highly desired in a community since it attracts more businesses and residents. Gentrification gives property ownership and diminishes vacant properties, which often have high concentration in crimes. Moreover, the addition of more shops and establishments means more job opportunities for everyone, especially for low income residents.…
