While driving through Harlem, I came across a site that disturbed me. I never imagined the day that I would see a shantytown in the streets of Harlem. With all of the reconstruction going on, it seems that some of the residents can neither afford the rent increases nor the $800,000 price tag on a two-bedroom condominium. In some cases, these people have been forced to relocate and/or displaced and left homeless.
I thought that the revitalization of Harlem was intended to empower the people of the community by creating jobs and improving living conditions. Is this considered an improvement?
