While driving through Harlem, I came across a site that disturbed me. I never imaged the day that I would see a shantytown in the streets Harlem. With all of the reconstruction going on, it seems that some of the residents can't afford the rent increases or the $800,000 price tag of a two-bedroom condominium and have been forced to relocate. In many cases people have been 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?
